This will make it even more difficult for the PAC to move to 8 conference games if they stay together. The Big 12 plays 9, the Big 12 plays 9 and the SEC will likely go to 9 when OU/UT join. The ACC plays only 8, but 5 teams a year play Notre Dame.
Replacing to 9th conference game with no P5 opponent will hurt in terms of money (non-P5 games draw less buts in seats) and TV inventory for the networks.
