The Pac-10 doesn't become the Pac-12 officially until July 1 of this year. The two new teams are the Colorado Buffaloes and the Utah Utes. They are the first new teams since adding Arizona and Arizona State in 1978.
There will be two division:
North - California, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington and Washington State
South - Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, UCLA, USC and Utah
Teams will still play nine conference games, but the round-robin format adopted in 2006 is over. With 12 teams, every team can't play every other on an annual basis.
These two divisions also mean a conference championship game, which will be played at the home stadium of the team with the best conference record on December 3rd. The winner of that game will be the Pac-12 Champion.
