It's official. Cal and Stanford will be a couple while UCLA and USC are going steady.
With the formation of the Pac-12, USC's worst nightmare is coming true. The current Pac-10 college division is adding two teams to its conference forcing it to split into two divisions to appease the almighty dollar.
The split will pave the wave for a lucrative Pac-12 title game for football but it will also keep Cal and Stanford from automatically playing bitter southern rivals UCLA and USC.
UCLA, Southern California, Arizona, Arizona State and conference newcomers Utah and Colorado will make up one division. Stanford, California, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State will be in the other.
Football will be the only sport that is divided for the title game. Each division team will play each other during the regular season.
