The Tulane Green Wave is among teams considered for a potential jump to a Power Four conference. With recent success in the American Conference, including a historic College Football Playoff appearance, the program is seen as a contender for such a move. The Atlantic Coast Conference could be a viable option due to geographic and academic alignments, while the Pac-12 may appear less logical.
