Cal Sports Report: Now that the 2021 Pac-12 football schedule has been released, let’s assess those schedules.
The short conclusion is that Oregon, Washington, Colorado and Cal will determine the perception of Pac-12 football based on tough early-season nonconference games, as we shall explain later, but Oregon and USC have the easiest Pac-12 schedules, which we will address first.
To begin, we need to note that Oregon, Washington, USC and Arizona State are expected to be the best Pac-12 teams in 2021, since those four Pac-12 teams are included in the early 2021 top-25 rankings of seven reputable sites: NCAA.com, Brett McMurphy, Athlon, Bleacher Report, 247 Sports, Yahoo and ESPN.
