[[:Power Five conferences]] → {{no redirect|Power Four conferences}} – The Pac-12 has lost all but two members following recent college football realignment, and the vast majority of reliable sources now refer to a group of "Power Four conferences" instead of "Power Five conferences". Although media usage of the term (and its reflection on the media's underlying opinion of the strength of the conferences) should be the decisive factor, it is also relevant that the Pac-12 lost its status in 2024 as an "autonomy conference", which the other four power conferences have. See the second paragraph of this [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Power_Five_conferences&oldid=1239837182#Position_within_college_football_and_the_FBS old edit] for a slew of sources about how the Power Four has supplanted the Power Five.

:I'll also add that I have no particular objection to using a title like "Power conferences (college football)", but for this article follow Wikipedia policies (most importantly respecting reliable sources), it's imperative that the article at least make clear in the lead that there is currently a "Power Four" and not a "Power Five".

:'''Support''' - I still favor using "College football power conferences" (or some other equivalent) since it better represents the subject over time from BCS/AQ Conferences (which this page originally was for -- as I'm sure you know, since you were the one to move it to Power Five in the first place almost a decade ago!) to the Power Five to the present, but I have no objection to immediately changing the title to the currently existing Power Four from the former name.
