I asked because of the number of factors that come into play


and hence why I said below the Pac-12 would become the Pac-16.

Currently, the 4 Cali schools have 2 protected cross-division games so they can continue playing each other every year. If the Pac-14 went with the zipper model, then the protected Cali games would remain in place. Likewise, the same consideration would need to be given to the 4 WA/OR schools since they all have a rivalry (of sorts...some bigger than others) going on in the northwest. The problem with giving 8 schools 2 protected cross-division games is the conference can't come up with 2 logical protected games for the remaining 6 schools. Also, it would mean that each school has only 1 rotating cross-division game under a 9-game schedule

Division Games = 6
Protected Cross-Division Games = 2
Rotating Cross-Division Game = 1

If the conference tries to maintain North-South, then it will be forced to split 1 instate rivalry and turn that into a protected cross-division game. Then the 4 Cali schools would have 2 protected cross-division games and the 2 X schools would have 1 protected cross-division game. Talk about dealing with all sorts of quarks as the conference tries to form a future schedule rotation.
