Conference realignment is the least appealing part of college football

The conference realignment discussion that we have—and it seems like it's every offseason—it's like the least appealing part of college football to me. I love it, and at it's a bummer, at the end of the day we're gonna watch the games, but it is gonna leave some people out.

The PAC-12 effectively dissolved after this episode, with most teams joining the Big Ten, Big 12, or ACC.

The new-look Big 12 is going to be awesome for college sports

The Big 12 rocks, the new Big 12 rocks. The fact that we're gonna get like Kansas and Arizona playing basketball every single year, that rocks. Texas Tech and UCF is going to be my game of the year over every single year. Like there are new wrinkles that are awesome.

The Big 12 successfully expanded and remained highly competitive in both football and basketball.

Larry Scott is the primary villain responsible for the death of the Pac-12

Larry Scott is the big villain in all this. Larry Scott, when they brought him in, they were like, 'this guy is a visionary. He understands the future of sports better than anybody.' Basically, his vision was just fucking everything up and making everybody hate 'em.

Larry Scott is almost universally cited by analysts and fans as the key figure whose decisions led to the Pac-12's demise.

If I were Washington State, I would boycott College GameDay to protest conference realignment

If I was Washington State, I would boycott college game day. I would not have a flag in the background. Silent protest. Get more eyes on the issue right there. Probably won't accomplish anything, but we'll send a message loud and clear.

Washington State fans did not boycott; instead, the 'Ol' Crimson' flag remained a staple on GameDay throughout the season.

The MLB All-Star Game is boring and the National League should have won easily

This game was pretty boring. I gotta be honest. The Allstar game was kind of boring. Kind of ironic that the American League wins in a year where it feels like the American League is just, you know, they've getting their ass kicked by the National League. And then if you look at the star power on each team, it feels like the National League should win this pretty easily.

The AL did win the 2026 All-Star game, confirming the outcome mentioned in the transcript.

The US is hosting the World Cup and shouldn't be playing weekday matches at 2 PM just to cater to the European TV audience.

I got one thing to complain about with these games. Why are we playing them at 2:00 PM on a weekday? We're trying to get the European audience for sure. But it's our World Cup. We're hosting it. We should be playing these kickoffs, should be at 6:00 PM at the earliest.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament scheduling logistics.

Jared Goff is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and should be ranked higher than Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert.

Jared Goff should be higher too. Jared should be six. Jared Goff, if you look at his stats, since he's joined the Lions outside that very first year, but his recent stats, he's been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. You can't really make an argument otherwise.

Quarterback rankings are inherently subjective, though Goff's strong statistical performance with the Lions supports PFT's argument.
