New-look Pac-12 looking to flex its way into CFP with unique schedule at end of regular season
The Pac-12 aims to strengthen its bid for the College Football Playoff with a unique final-week flex schedule designed to boost postseason opportunities.
The conference is no longer a guaranteed Power Five automatic-bid and will adjust its schedule to benefit teams for bowl and playoff chances, according to Commissioner Teresa Gould.
Due to major departures, only Oregon State and Washington State remain, leading the Pac-12 to reinvent itself for the upcoming season.
The flex schedule features at least one high-profile rematch before the December 4 championship game to ensure competitive and balanced home league games.
