The travel miles and losses have piled up for teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference and Big Ten when it comes to cross-country travel created by realignment. Those two leagues span the four contiguous U.S. time zones and have footprints touching the Atlantic and Pacific coastlines with the arrival of former Pac-12 programs. USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington are in the Big Ten. Stanford and California are in the ACC. Overall, men's and women's teams traveling between the Eastern and Pacific time zones in the ACC and Big Ten had won 30.6% of their games as of Thursday.
