WSU to play Utah Saturday for closing recreation of 2020 season |

SAN FRANCISCO – The Pac-12 conference set the schedule for their final football weekend.

The conference announced on Sunday that its teams will play six games, including Washington ranked 16th in Southern California in Friday’s Pac-12 championship game.

Oregon will face number 21 Colorado on Saturday at the Memorial Coliseum in Southern California. The winner of this game could slip into a postponed title game if the Trojans or Huskies are unable to play due to COVID-19 issues.

Saturday’s games also include Washington State in Utah, Stanford at UCLA and Arizona State in Oregon State. Arizona will meet California at a time and place to be determined. The Wildcats sacked coach Kevin Sumlin on Saturday after losing to the state of Arizona.

The Pac-12 left the schedule open for the last weekend of the season to have flexibility in a year when the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in cancellations and postponements across the country.

USC secured a spot in the Pac-12 title game for the first time since 2017 by beating rivals UCLA 43-38 on Saturday.

Washington won its third Pac-12 North title in five years with a 38-21 win over Colorado.

The conference went to a home-hosted model for that season’s championship game.
