1. Pac 10 decides to expand
2. Notre Dame decides not to become the 12th Big 10 team
3. Nebraska moves to Big 10
4. Missouri not invited to Big 10
5. Pac invites Colorado prematurely (this one's arguable but I think it's possible Pac decides not to expand at all or wait a year to weight its options again if the Texas rejection comes before they invite Colorado. or Texas and A&M might not have felt like they were being strong armed if Pac doesn't make that move.)
6. Tex A&M balks at the Pac 10 invite
7. TV network steps up to save Big 12
8. New 10 team Big 12 decides not to expand from 10 to 12
Over the last week, I count eight events. All eight went Utah's way. All eight went against BYU.
Any one of these events go the other way and we don't end up in this situation.
