Which two teams could fill out expanded Pac-12? | Big Ten College Countdown | NBC Sports

HOW ABOUT THIS? WASHINGTON HAS WON NINE OF THE LAST TEN MEETINGS. FOR WHICH TEAM DO WE BELIEVE THIS MATCH-UP MATTERS MORE? >> IT WILL BE WASHINGTON STATE THIS TIME AROUND. YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT AND HOW IT AFFECTED THE RIVALRY. WASHINGTON STATE FANS FELT LIKE THEY WERE LEFT BEHIND. NOT ONLY DID WASHINGTON LEAVE. THEY TOOK THEIR A.D. AS WELL. WE HEARD THE CHATTER ABOUT HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO PEOPLE AND YOU'LL FEEL THAT ON THE FIELD FROM THE WASHINGTON STATE SIDE. >> AND LISTEN, THEY GET TO COME IN WITH A LOT OF CONFIDENCE. THEY ADDED FOUR MEMBERS TO THEIR LEAGUE. THEY NEED TO GET TO EIGHT BY 2026. I'M TOLD THEY COULD GO ABOVE EIGHT IF THEY WANT TO. GEOGRAPHY WON'T BE A LIMITING FACTOR AS WELL. WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS STABILIZE THEMSELVES AS A TEAM AND A LEAGUE THAT CAN SEND THEM TO THE PLAYOFFS. I EXPECT THEM TO TAKE A BIG SWING AT SOME OF THE TOP TEAMS LIKE TULANE AND MEMPHIS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THERE WOULD BE RECIPROCATED INTEREST. THEY WILL THEN LOOK AT MORE REALISTIC OPTIONS ELSEWHERE IN THE MOUNTAIN WEST AND COMPLAIN LOOK AT GONZAGA. UNLV IS A TARGET AND A SCHOOL THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPECT TO BE IN THE MIX. THEY HAVE SOME LEGISLATIVE ISSUES THAT MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT. THAT'S WHERE THEY MIGHT GO FROM THERE. >> STILL GREAT TO SEE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. FIRST OFF, THIS IS WASHINGTON STATE. HOW CAN THEY AND A FEW OTHERS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL NOT FEEL LIKE THEY'VE BEEN FORGOTTEN ABOUT IN THIS WHOLE PROCESS? NOW TO MAYBE BE A PLAYER TWO YEARS FROM NOW, HAVE A CHANCE
