How could the new Pac-12 be divided and how could the schedule be done? Here's my proposal for alignment and for an 8 and 9 game conference schedule:

North
California
Oregon
Oregon State
Stanford
Washington
Washington State

South
Arizona
Arizona State
Colorado
UCLA
USC
Utah

For an 8 game conference schedule, each division would be divided up into an A and a B rotation and each team in the rotation would play the same teams (but not necessarily have the same number of home games as the others in the rotation) from the corresponding other division and then swap divisions the next year. This allows for a 4 year rotation and each team plays a home and a road game against every team in the opposite division every 4 years.

North A
California
Oregon
Washington

North B
Stanford
Oregon State
Washington State

South A
Arizona
USC
Utah

South B
Arizona State
Colorado
UCLA
Colorado

For a 9 game conference schedule, there would be no need to have a set rotation of teams. Each team from a division would play 4 teams from the opposite division and the next year, they play 2 of the same team and two other teams and finally on the third year, they play the last group of teams that they missed in year 1 and 2. They would be able to play each team 2 out of 3 years with a home and a road game against each. The advantage is this schedule is that those teams in the North that want to go to LA will get to do so 2 out of 3 years.

How could the schedules work? Here's a hypothetical one for 2011-2014 (8 team) and 2011-2013 (9 teams):

Code:

With the very real possibility of this North/South alignment, here's a 9 game schedule that allows each North team to make 2 trips to southern California 2 out of 3 years.

Code:
