Wyoming lucky to miss Pac-12

Key points Wyoming lucky to miss Pac-12
  1. The Pac-12's collapse and 2026 rebuild pulled many former Mountain West teams away, but Wyoming was not invited to join the new Pac-12.
  2. The Branding Iron's opinion writer argues that was a stroke of luck: the rebuilt Mountain West has 10 teams and better organization, while the Pac-12 has only eight and has lost its power-conference status.
  3. Staying put keeps Wyoming's rivalry with Colorado State intact and leaves the same College Football Playoff opportunity, so fans should feel comfortable about the Cowboys' conference home.
