The new Vegas facility will certainly be eyed by the Pac-12 for its title game, but that doesn’t mean a the conference will only play one game there. The Ducks and Cougars provide an interesting option.

BYU and Oregon met in the 2006 Las Vegas Bowl – and set the attendance record for the game. The 44,615 in attendance is about 2,000 more than the next-closest contest.

Both the Ducks and Cougars travel well, and both are marketable teams with a large Polynesian student population and following. Both schools recruit Nevada as well, so it’d make sense from a recruiting standpoint too.

BYU football is 3-3 all-time against Oregon.
