OSU, WSU, Mountain West finalize scheduling agreement for 2024 college football season

From the article:

The scheduling model involves a “7+1” format, which features Mountain West schools playing seven games against conference opponents and one against either Oregon State or Washington State. The agreement would generate 12 additional games for the “Pac-2” in exchange for approximately $14 million direct payment to the Mountain West, according to Yahoo Sports. The scheduling agreement would only be in practice for the 2024 season.

Could be extended for another year (the Pac-12 is only really allowed to exist with less than 8 members for 2 years).

OSU and WSU would not be eligible for the Mountain West Championship Game nor an automatic bid to the College Football Playoff, which expands to 12 teams next season. CFP sources confirmed to Dodd they would be eligible for an at-large berth should they finish in or around the top 12.

I thought we had settled on 2-Pac?

I assume this is prelude to working out whether all or only the vast majority of the MWC will be playing under the PAC name in a couple of years. I'd still be fine with bringing them to the B12 and having Yormark run the "Big Pac" or something and retain divisional play despite a large conference.

The antsy ACC teams are not going to stick around a moment longer than they have to, and ESPN/Fox have zero motivation to pay them more until they can do so without also giving more money to Wake and SMU.

“nor an automatic bid to the College Football Playoff”

Well that’s bullshit. Let them have it for the two years they’re still a conference. (BTW, it’s the top 6 conference champions, it’s not really automatic)
