Whoa, big news! Just read the release. No impact on scheduling for 2022 but will immediately make the conference championship the top two teams rather than having anything to do with divisions. Beyond 2022 it could (I imagine would?) have an impact on scheduling.
Processing this now and haven't given much thought to implications for Stanford. Would be interested in others' thoughts. My immediate gut reaction is this is designed for the second best team in the conference in a given year, which would have been extremely relevant for Stanford much of Shaw's tenure but not so much recently. You've got to win at least six conference games for this change to affect you.
