If the Pac-12 eliminates non-conference games, both Oklahoma State and Michigan need a season opener

The Power 5 Conferences all seem to be at least considering a conference-games-only schedule for 2020, but the Pac-12 is the most likely to adopt such a plan, because of state-ordered closures in California and Oregon, states which house half of the league’s members.

So even if the other leagues are attempting to play full schedules, they would be affected by a Pac-12 change. Put Oklahoma State on that list.

The Cowboys host Oregon State on Sept. 3, a Thursday night season opener that gets the jump by two days on every other Big 12 team. But if the Pac-12 declares no non-conference games, the Cowboys would be scrambling to find an opponent.
