The Pac-12 Conference will move to a modified, conference-only football schedule for the fall. The move, however, may not limit the schedule to nine games, with the conference expected to decide on a final number by the end of July.
Among the games that will no longer be played as the Pac-12 plans to implement a conference-only slate are USC vs. Alabama (Sept. 5, Arlington), Cal vs. TCU (Sept. 5), Washington State vs. Houston (Sept. 12), and Colorado at Texas A&M (Sept. 19). The Big Ten’s cancellation of nonconference games nixed Washington vs. Michigan (Sept. 5) and Oregon vs. Ohio State (Sept. 12).
The moves to conference-only scheduling were anticipated as college football finishes up its worst week since the nationwide shutdown in mid-March.
