  With 7 games, don’t you suppose two of them will be against the north?

    There will be, but it’s 6+1. So we won’t know the second game against the north until the conference standings at the end of the 6 games. Then, the top teams play in the championship and everybody else gets a 7th ‘bowl like’ game

      Ok, but it’s still two games. My predictions, Oregon scheduled, and Wazzu at the end. 😉
      The rematch of last year’s champ game will be too much for the conference to ignore.

    Yes, it is and that is why I suspect it will happen.

    I wonder if they’d match USC with Oregon? That would probably be the marquee game (this year).
    
    Did you guys see what the Big Ten did to Nebraska? As you know, some Nebraska players sued the league for the right to play. When the Big Ten announced they were coming back they re-did the schedule. Nebraka’s first four games:
    
    Oct 24 @ Ohio St
    
    Oct 31 Wisconsin
    
    Nov 7 at Northwestern
    
    Nov 14 Penn State
    
    Careful what you wish for, I guess.

      USC will play one of the Cali schools from the north, my bet is Stanford.
      
      The PAC 12 needs to game it like the SEC does and not pit Utah against Oregon. Oregon needs to play AZ and Utah needs to play either WSU or OrSt. Don’t put your best teams against each other if you don’t have to. The committee clearly would rather see zero losses than a strong schedule.

      Correct you are UteBacker. As Oregon was the preseason favorite to win the North, and USC the preseason favorite to win the South, they would be the marquee league game this year — the 2019 CCG notwithstanding.
      
      The BigTen claimed the Nebraska pairings were incidental, but it’s not like they’d openly admit it either. That just goes to show what might happen to programs who don’t play the part of “team player”. As unfortunate as it was to have to postpone their season, a league needs to remain unified — for long-term purposes. But if you’re a selfish program, who’s only in it for yourself, you might as well try forming a new league with the tdS.
