It Would Suck to Lose These Non-Conference Games if Pac-12 Plays Conference-Only Schedule

It Would Suck to Lose These Non-Conference Games if Pac-12 Plays Conference-Only Schedule

The Pac-12 has discussed an 11-game regular-season schedule with only conference games, USC head coach Clay Helton confirmed on a media conference call on Monday.

"That is one of the many structures as we go through this situation and this crisis that is a possibility of an all-conference schedule,” Helton said. “That is one of the structures under discussion, depending on where we are at six to eight weeks from now. Those are viable discussions, and it has been brought up in our meetings.”


(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

It'd suck to lose any of the Pac-12's 36 non-conference games, though losing some of those 36 games would suck more than losing others. 

The tiers of suck:

Suck the Most

Week Game Location
1 BYU at Utah Salt Lake City, Utah
1 Michigan at Washington Seattle, Wash.
1 North Dakota State at Oregon Eugene, Ore.
1 USC vs. Alabama Arlington, Texas
2 Ohio State at Oregon Eugene, Ore.
6 Stanford at Notre Dame Notre Dame, Ind.
13 Notre Dame at USC Los Angeles, Calif.

Utah has dominated the Holy War for most of this millennium, winning their last 10 meetings with BYU and 15 of the last 18. Still, it's one of college football's premier rivalries and has been played in 94 of the last 98 years.

Michigan and Washington are playing for the first time in 18 years (and just the second time in Seattle in nearly 40 years), North Dakota State at Oregon is the most highly anticipated FBS-FCS game ever, and Ohio State at Oregon is the novelty game of the entire season.

Suck the Second Most

Week Game Location
1 Colorado at Colorado State Fort Collins, Colo.
1 TCU at California Berkeley, Calif.
1 Oregon State at Oklahoma State Stillwater, Okla.
2 Houston at Washington State Pullman, Wash.
3 Arizona at Texas Tech Lubbock, Texas
3 BYU at Arizona State Tempe, Ariz.
3 Colorado at Texas A&M College Station, Texas
3 UCLA at San Diego State San Diego, Calif.
13 BYU at Stanford Stanford, Calif.

Finally, Colorado-Colorado State is back on campus after 18 of their last 22 meetings came in Denver, and it'll feature two first-year coaches in Karl Dorrell and Steve Addazio.

TCU and Cal is a meeting of two of the best defensive minds in college football in Gary Patterson and Justin Wilcox, but more importantly, it's a rematch of the epic 2018 Cheez-It Bowl.

Nick Rolovich gets Dana Holgorsen and Houston in his first home game, Texas A&M hasn't hosted Colorado since 2008, their seventh of eight meetings as Big 12 members, and San Diego State is always a problem for visiting Power Five teams.

Suck a Lot

Week Game Location
0 Hawai'i at Arizona Tucson, Ariz.
1 Washington State at Utah State Logan, Utah
1 UCLA at Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii
2 Fresno State at Colorado Boulder, Colo.
2 Colorado State at Oregon State Corvallis, Ore.
2 Montana State at Utah Salt Lake City, Utah
3 Utah at Wyoming Laramie, Wyo.
3 Utah State at Washington Seattle, Wash.

Welcome back, Todd Graham. The former Arizona State coach opens his Hawai'i career with back-to-back Pac-12 teams, including a Week 0 trip to Tucson, where he went 1-2 in six seasons as Sun Devils' coach.

Montana State could threaten Utah in Week 2, and the Utes renew a rivalry with Wyoming, their first trip to Laramie in 10 years.  

Suck a Little

Week Game Location
0 Cal at UNLV Las Vegas, Nev.
2 Arizona State at UNLV Las Vegas, Nev.
2 New Mexico at USC Los Angeles, Calif.
2 Sacramento State at Washington Seattle, Wash.
3 Hawai'i at Oregon Eugene, Ore.

Several first-year coaches with Pac-12 ties in this section: Former Oregon offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo at UNLV, former Arizona State defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales at New Mexico, and, as noted above, former Arizona State head coach Todd Graham at Hawai'i. A fourth first-year coach, Jimmy Lake hosts a former Pac-12 assistant, Sacramento State head coach Troy Taylor.

Wouldn't Suck That Much
