Pac-12 announces it will begin college football season on Nov. 6

The Pac-12 will join the Big Ten in attempting to play football this fall, the league announced Thursday, reversing a decision made in August to postpone until the winter or spring at the earliest due to the health concerns posed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Pac-12 play will begin on Nov. 6 with a seven-game schedule consisting of only league games and culminating with the conference championship game on Dec. 18. In addition to the conference championship, the final weekend will feature crossover games between teams from the North and South divisions.

The schedule will enable teams from the Pac-12 to be considered for the College Football Playoff, the league said in a statement.
