Speaking of the Pac-12, from what I can tell reading the various


message boards and articles out there, it would appear the Pac-12 has 2 rivalry clicks; Great Northwest and Cali. From a scheduling purpose, the 4 schools from the Great Northwest must play each other annually. Likewise, the 4 Cali schools must play each other annually. Hence why the 4 Cali schools have 2 protected cross-division games so they can always play the other 2 Cali schools in the other division. I believe the Cali click was the reason the Pac-12 option to go to a 9-game conference schedule. The 4 expansion schools haven't quite developed a rivalry with each other, but I think the conference hopes it does happen. If the conference became the Pac-16, then it would make it easier to split the divisions into the Original-8 (Pac-8 reference) and the Expansion-8.
