i remember not recently, but before penn state joined the big ten one or two years in the 80's the big ten played 9 games a round robin schedule, i don't think it will be a problem with the pac 10 to do it, i think the two years the big ten did it was a year or two that the ncaa allowed a extra game those years, alot like when ohio state had the extra game in 2002 plus another extra game(the first one, was considered a "Pigskin Classic" and only happens once a year and is a special game), if it was not for the "Pigskin Classic" ohio state would have not had 14 games like they did, and would have only had 13 and would not have the ncaa record for most wins in a season, now with the allowed 12th. game and one Pigskin Classic a year and a bowl game any team that gets the Classic Game will have the chance at 14 games like ohio state did, plus when you think of it for some reason if a Big 12, SEC, ACC, or MAC team gets in the game they will have the chance at 15 games with the addition of the Conference Championship Game
12 regular season games
1 Pigskin Classic Game
1 Conference Championship Game
+1Bowl Game__________________
15 games
if the situation in some way comes up, its very unlikely to happen but hey it is possible

The NCAA got rid of the Pigskin Classic and their "preseason classic game" ilk, that was one of the conditions of going to the permanent 12 game schedule. Plenty of teams will have a chance to match 14 wins in a season but it doesn't look like anyone will get a shot at 15 in one season, unless they make a trip out to Hawaii. I'm not sure if that loophole will remain, though.
While Michigan-Ohio State is certainly a very big game every year on the college football landscape -- often the biggest -- the "Big Game" is played in northern California.
