College football’s most valuable teams as conference expansion unfolds

The landscape of college football is changing again with conference expansion.

UCLA and USC are leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten. The Bruins and Trojans will begin Big Ten competition in 2024.

Oklahoma and Texas are leaving the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference with 2025 as a potential start date.
