While we await the dates for the conference games in 2023, here is a look at who plays who in the Pac-12 next season.
Arizona
Home games: Northern Arizona (9/2), UTEP (9/16), Oregon State, UCLA, Utah, Washington
Away games: Mississippi State (9/9), Arizona State, Colorado, Stanford, USC, WSU
Comments: Four of their toughest games will be at home, and a tough road trip to Mississippi State.
Arizona State
Home games: Southern Utah (8/31), Oklahoma State (9/9), Fresno State (9/16), Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, USC, WSU
Away games: California, UCLA, Utah, Washington
Comments: The Sun Devils get 8 home games, but should have 3 tough away games.
California
Home games: Auburn (9/9), Idaho (9/16), Arizona State, Oregon State, USC, WSU
Away games: North Texas (9/2), Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, Utah, Washington
Comments: The Bears have four tough road games and play one of two SEC teams that are travelling out West this year.
Colorado
Home games: Nebraska (9/9), Colorado State (9/16), Arizona, Oregon State, Stanford, USC
Away games: TCU (9/2), Arizona State, Oregon, UCLA, Utah, WSU
Comments: Despite what Coach Sanders mentioned during the national championship game, it doesn't appear that they will be playing Arizona State in week 0, that means that Colorado's first game under Sanders will be at TCU.
Oregon
Home games: Portland State (9/2), Hawaii (9/16), California, Oregon State, USC, WSU
Away games: Texas Tech (9/9), Arizona State, Stanford, Utah, Washington
Comments: Away game against Texas Tech will not be easy, nor will the games at Utah and at UW. Only one real marquee home game (besides the Oregon State game), but it should be a big one against USC.
Oregon State
Home games: UC Davis (9/9), San Diego State (9/16), Stanford, UCLA, Utah, Washington
Away games: San Jose State (9/2), Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon, WSU
Comments: The Beavers look to have most of their toughest games at home, and their non-conference schedule looks like one of the easiest of all of the Pac-12 schools.
Stanford
Home games: Sacramento State (9/16), Notre Dame (11/25), Arizona, California, Oregon, UCLA, Washington
Away games: Hawaii (9/1), Colorado, Oregon State, USC, WSU
Comments: The Sacramento State game could have been tricky given how good Sacramento State was last year and how bad Stanford was-except that Stanford now has Sacramento State's head coach.
UCLA
Home games: Coastal Carolina (9/2), NC Central (9/16), Arizona State, California, Colorado, WSU
Away games: San Diego State (9/9), Arizona, Oregon State, Stanford, USC, Utah
Comments: Another easy non-conference schedule for the Bruins, but their road schedule in the Pac-12 will be difficult.
USC
Home games: San Jose State (8/26), Nevada (9/2), Arizona, Stanford, UCLA, Utah, Washington
Away games: Notre Dame (10/14), Arizona State, California, Colorado, Oregon
Comments: Three of their toughest games should be at home and two on the road.
Utah
Home games: Florida (9/2), Weber State (9/16), Arizona State, California, Oregon, UCLA
Away games: Baylor (9/9), Arizona, Oregon State, USC, Washington
Comments: Utah plays 2 Power-5 teams in non-conference games, including the other SEC team to make a trip out West.
Washington
Home games: Boise State (9/2), Tulsa (9/9), Arizona State, California, Oregon, Utah, WSU
Away games: Michigan State (9/16), Arizona, Oregon State, Stanford, USC
Comments: Tricky non-conference schedule and a couple of other tough road games.
Washington State
Home games: Wisconsin (9/9), Northern Colorado (9/16), Arizona, Colorado, Oregon State, Stanford
Away games: Colorado State (9/2), Arizona State, California, Oregon, UCLA, Washington
Comments: Most of their toughest games will be on the road. The home game against Wisconsin was originally scheduled for 2015, and I believe that this is the first Power-5 opponent to play in Pullman in over a decade.
