Reply To: What year did you start to follow college football?

Yes, Pac-6.

Washington State joined the conference for the 1962 season and the Oregon schools in 1964.  But there was no full round-robin football schedule until 1970 and in ’64 I’m not sure if Oregon and Wazzu were even eligible to go to the Rose Bowl.  Oregon State was, obviously.  As a football conference, I thought of it as the Pac-6 until SC started playing Oregon and Wazzu, which was in ’67.

But to your point, the conference held itself out as the Pac-8 starting in ’64.
