This will be interesting. I think you are going to see the Rose Bowl pull out of the BCS at some point and crowning the champion between the B10 and the Pac 12. The B10 is going to a 9 games conference shedule soon coupled with a mandatory Pac10 game, that will leave only 2 non-conference games avaliable.

Delaney has all but said that with adding a conference championship game to the B10, it added one more hurdle for a national title and doesn't see or even really care if a B10 competes for a national title.

Its almost like the B10 and Pac12 are going to try to form their own NCAA universe. Its going to be expensive for Olympic sports though, but I am sure they will figure that out.

I think this is gonna be pretty damn cool.

I could see some really nice rivalries forming between the two conferences between this and the Rose Bowl.

I went to the first night game at Michigan State. They beat USC. They met USC again in the Rose Bowl the same season and won. MSU played Oregon in the 1999 kick-off classic and won. Sure would be nice if they could get those wins on their resume again.

I'm excited about this.

After the way the last home and home went, I'd sure love another shot at USC. Plus, it makes our schedule tougher, which is something that's very much needed (Although our future ones are looking tougher).

At the same time it's also gonna depend on how they schedule the games. Hopefully they match the top teams against each other. Probably wouldn't be as fun to see Colorado vs. Ohio State.

I like this, but I hate the idea of some teams playing in NFL stadiums. I rather watch the game at Folsom than Sports Authority Field(I think that's what it's called these days).
