including the Cougars faithful
fans know what the upcoming
season will look like.
This will be the first time the
Cougars will not play Pac-12
or ten or eight in a long time.
We know the Cougars have had
years of ups and downs. Years
where they had a great seasons
in PAC conference not a lot of
people expected anyway. It was
good when either the Cougars
or OSU Beavers had winning
seasons in the conference and
even more so when they both
did.
Last season Cougars got off to
a very good start then took a
slide. The Colorado Buffaloes
did the same thing. Colorado
will be going to the Big 12. That
will be a bit of a slide from the
Pac-12. In some respects the
Cougars might play a bit better
schedule than the Buffaloes.
Though the Cougars will play
against the Mountain West
for the most part those teams
are good. They may not be as
good as the Pac-12 but a good
brand of football.
The Cougars are bringing back
a lot of players they may not
match the Huskies in the Apple
Cup. We will no closer to the
game. Even so the Cougars will
show the Huskies since they
are rivals though no longer in
the same league.
There are talks that division one
football may still look different in
a couple years or so. They could
have two super conferences.
They could be split up between
the east and the west. Could
see Georgia and Alabama be
among the elite in East. Ohio
State and Michigan could be
the elite in the West. Of course,
USC, Oregon and Washington
should be included too.
The two super conferences
could be split up with the top
teams in the country and the
lesser in the other. Where
Washington and Oregon end
up may depend how they do
in the Big Ten. The top teams
will have a chance to get the
top recruits while the teams
will fight over the rest.
We know to that television
ratings will say a lot as well.
The teams that want to be
seen around the country will
be in one conference. Even
if teams are good but the
ratings not so good they will
be in the lesser conference.
Non-league games could be
among the teams in the two
conferences. All the remaining
teams will be in a rough spot
since they won't get as much
television money.
All this leads to where the Cougars
an the Beavers end up in the
end. They may end up among
the two big conferences but
play in the lower one. They could
be back playing Arizona, Arizona
State, Utah and Colorado..
All the otberd sports they will
likely be setup the way have been
before. It will be interesting to
see what happens.
We wish the Cougars a really
good 2024 season. We hope
a winning season. 👍👍
