2. The Pac-12 teams in play for the other Pac-12 teams are …
This is big.
Again, from the first part of this, all is well if it’s an 11-game schedule. Everyone plays everyone, and while there will be a slight issue with an unbalanced set of home and road games, remember, with no fans in the stands the idea of the home date doesn’t mean quite as much.
However, if it’s a ten-game schedule, that means not everyone plays everyone else, and then things get funky.
For example. Washington State from the Pac-12 North is going to miss both Arizona and USC from the Pac-12 South. This year, that’s a huge call considering the Trojans are much scarier looking than the Wildcats.
Here are all the Pac-12 teams with the two teams from the other division currently not scheduled to be played.
