What matters is they are positioned to perennially be at least the 5th best conference champion, thereby earning the final automatic bid into the CFP. The 4 MWC teams could not possibly be gambling here. There has to be something ready to go in addition to the absurd amount of money OSU and WSU got to keep. Brilliant legal wording used by the CFP committee to fence off the rest of us and keep us in our place. I have no doubt this was intentional. And I expect the MAC to be back at 12 teams, if not less, very soon. Who do you think the MAC is going to throw under the bus?

That said who would want to leave the MAC at this point with UMass entering. The SBC is a little stronger in football but wrong cultural fit.

They were under the impression that the conference was going to try and remain as regional as possible and the value add from those two isn't as big as some are making it out to be. They seem to be betting on a Stanford/Cal return if the ACC implodes along with a couple other MWC adds that make sense.

Memphis, Tulane, UTSA and USF have stated they are staying in the AAC.

All sports except football. They haven't had a team since 1941. They'll get full membership in the new Pac, though. All sports in Gonzaga terms is what I originally meant. But there are different stories saying the WCC is counter-offering. I'm not sure how much better the WCC can do than a full revenue share at an estimated $10-$20M annually even without a football team.

Now, both the PAC and MWC only have 7 members, but in order to be eligible for an auto-bid for the CFP your conference has to have 8 members. No doubt there will be move more moves in the coming weeks and months.

I'd see them trying to wiggle themselves into the Big Ten before admitting defeating and joining the same league as Fresno or Boise State. The thing about Stanford that you have to remember is all of their Olympic sports which they take very, very seriously. I don't think this new PAC gives them what they need in that sense.
