With the Pac-12 likely to lose its place at the big boy table just in time for the 2026 CFP and the possibility that the new format simply takes the top-12 teams, I would not be stunned if Cal and Stanford both went independent in football (ala BYU in the 2010s) to avoid playing a steady diet of MW teams. If they were to do so, the Big East would be in prime position to grab them up. With Gonzaga being a top brand and Stanford and Cal being two of the best ADs in the country, I think the move would need to be made, especially given the other major basketball conferences are now at a minimum of 15 teams.
