Pac-12 announces final weekend of games in football season
SAN FRANCISCO — The Pac-12 Conference has set the schedule for its final weekend of football games.
The conference announced Sunday its teams will play six games, including Washington at No. 15 USC in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday.
Oregon will face No. 21 Colorado at Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles on Saturday. The winner of that game could slide into a rescheduled title game if the Trojans or Huskies are unable to play due to COVID-19 issues.
Saturday’s games also include Washington State at Utah, Stanford at UCLA, and Arizona State at Oregon State. Arizona will face California at a site and time to be determined. The Wildcats fired coach Kevin Sumlin on Saturday following a blowout loss to Arizona State.
The Pac-12 left the schedule for the final weekend of the season open to have flexibility in a year when the COVID-19 pandemic has led to cancellations and postponements across the country.
USC earned a spot in the Pac-12 title game for the first time since 2017 by rallying to beat rival UCLA 43-38 on Saturday.
Washington earned its third Pac-12 North title in five years with a complex mess of tiebreakers.
The conference went to a home-hosted model for the championship game this season.
Provided nothing COVID-19-related derails the game, USC will play Washington in the Pac-12 title game next week.
