Week 12 TV Schedule

It's a shorter schedule in the Pac-12 this week than any other recently, or for the rest of the regular season, with 4 teams all on byes this week.

Second ranked Oregon, attempting to heal up some injuries after a Pac-12 North clinching win last week at Utah, Washington St., Colorado, and UCLA are all off.

The conference schedule kicks off tonight with California (5-4, 3-4) visiting USC (6-3,5-2) at 6 PM in the LA Coliseum, and ESPN will have the coverage.

Saturday's first Pac-12 game comes at 1:30 PM AST (12:30 PM PST) in Tucson, with Washington (6-4, 2-4) visiting #14 Arizona (7-2, 4-2). FOX has the game, including over the air coverage.

The only game relegated to the Pac-12 Channel's limited distribution this week has #23 Utah (6-3, 3-3) visiting Stanford (5-4, 3-3) at 3 PM PST.

As usual, Oregon St., and for that matter, Arizona St., are at (or near) the end of the day/night, and the Beavers and Darkness Devils again conclude the evening, with #6 Arizona St. (8-1, 5-1) visiting Oregon St. (4-5, 1-5) for a 7:45 PM PST start. It's ESPN's coverage nightcap contest (which means that ESPN has an option to push kickoff back to as late as 7:56 PM PST), starting 1/2 hour later than the San Diego St. at Boise St. game.

Nationwide, the schedule (which actually started Tuesday night, with the first of 2 nights of 2 games of Maction; the MAC has already played 2/3s of their games this week) includes 2 other games tonight in addition to the Golden Bears and Trojans, one each in the American Conference and C-USA, and there's another American Conference game tomorrow, and of course the end-to-end, wall to wall Saturday schedule that will take over 14 hours to play out.
