Conference realignment (or lack there of) brings a lot of questions surrounding the Oregon Football program. What conference might they join? What's the landscape competitively and financially? What's the best option? All these are valid questions to ask, but no matter where Oregon ends up, the likelihood that they're able to recruit and compete at a high level remains rather high.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by host of "The Voice of College Football" Mark Rogers (@MarkRogersTV). He is not as big of a fan of realignment and what it means for the sports, specifically the continuing loss of regionality. If mega conferences continue to emerge, the way those conferences get scheduled and how matchups are decided could get very interesting--and complicated for fans.

The Big 12 may still attempt to come after several Pac-12 schools including Oregon, who from a program pedigree standpoint may be the biggest remaining PAC team for another conference to poach. With how the Big 10 has treated the idea of adding Oregon (and Washington) so far, that could make Oregon seek out a conference that is actively seeking them--meaning the Big 12 could have an opportunity. Lastly, Mark says why he expects Oregon to once again be a competitive team in the Pac-12 with a strong roster, and thinks the Ducks' new coach and (potential) new QB Bo Nix could do enough positive things to win games.
