The '''Pac-12 Conference''' is a collegiate athletic conference in the Western United States. It participates at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I level for all sports, and its football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest level of NCAA football competition. The conference currently has two members, Oregon State University and Washington State University.

The modern Pac-12 Conference formed after the disbanding of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC), the principal members of which founded the '''Athletic Association of Western Universities''' ('''AAWU''') in 1959. The conference previously went by the names '''Big Five''', '''Big Six''', '''Pacific-8''', and '''Pacific-10'''. The Pac-12 moniker was adopted in 2011 with the addition of Colorado and Utah.

Nicknamed the "Conference of Champions" (a phrase coined by former Washington State basketball coach George Raveling),<ref>{{cite web |title=The transformative career of George Raveling |url=https://247sports.com/college/washington-state/longformarticle/george-raveling-a-transformative-wsu-hall-of-fame-coach-dies-at-88-253378409/#2696116 |website=Cougfan.com |access-date=February 13, 2026}}</ref> the Pac-12 has won more NCAA national championships in team sports than any other conference in history.<ref>{{cite web |title=Conference of Champions |url=https://pac-12.com/champions |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621170512/https://pac-12.com/champions |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 21, 2019 |website=Pac-12 |access-date=June 1, 2023}}</ref> Washington's national title in women's rowing in 2017 was the 500th NCAA championship won by a Pac-12 school.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pac-12.com/article/2017/05/26/washingtons-ncaa-championship-makes-pac-12-first-500-ncaa-titles|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170528163709/http://pac-12.com/article/2017/05/26/washingtons-ncaa-championship-makes-pac-12-first-500-ncaa-titles|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 28, 2017|title=Washington's NCAA Championship makes Pac-12 the first to 500 NCAA titles|website=Pac-12|language=en|access-date=July 9, 2017}}</ref> The Pac-12 holds a 200-plus championship lead over the second-place conference.

On August 2, 2024, 10 of 12 members departed from the conference. The Pac-12 is operating as a two-team conference through the 2025–26 academic year, sponsoring six sports: baseball, football, men's and women's track and field, women's gymnastics, and men's wrestling. In 2026, the Pac-12 will expand to nine members and nineteen sports with the addition of five schools from the Mountain West Conference, one from the Sun Belt Conference, and one from the West Coast Conference.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Murray |first=Chris |date=July 1, 2025 |title=Details from the Pac-12's heavily redacted grant of media rights and membership agreement |url=https://nevadasportsnet.com/newsletter-daily/details-from-the-pac-12s-heavily-redacted-grant-of-media-rights-and-membership-agreement |access-date=July 6, 2025 |website=Nevada Sports Net |language=en}}</ref>

===Membership timeline=== The Pac-12 claims the PCC's history as its own. Not only did it maintain the automatic bid from the Rose Bowl inherited from the PCC, but the eight largest schools in the old PCC all eventually joined the new league. However, the old PCC operated under a separate charter.

The Pac-12 is one of the founding members of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF), a conference organized to provide competition in non-revenue Olympic sports. All-Pac-12 members participate in at least one MPSF sport (men's and women's indoor track and field both actually have enough participating Pac-12 schools for the conference to sponsor a championship, but the Pac-12 has opted not to do so). For certain sports, the Pac-12 admits certain schools as associate members.

One year later, Washington State College (now Washington State University) joined the league, followed by Stanford University in 1918.

In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of USC and Idaho. Montana joined the Conference in 1924, and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 members with the addition of UCLA.

For many years, the conference split into two divisions for basketball and baseball—a Southern Division comprising the four California schools and a Northern Division comprising the six schools in the Pacific Northwest.

In 1950, Montana departed to join the Mountain States Conference. The PCC continued as a nine-team league through June 1959.

===AAWU (Big Five and Big Six)=== Following "pay-for-play" scandals at California, USC, UCLA, and Washington, the PCC disbanded in June 1959. Ten months earlier in August 1958, these four schools agreed to form a new conference that would take effect the following summer.<ref name=bflifmda58>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=C55WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=DOcDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4355%2C3110200 |newspaper=Spokesman-Review |agency=Associated Press |title=Big Four loop is formed by UW, Cal, UCLA, USC |date=August 24, 1958 |page=1, sports }}</ref><ref name=bfbfsjng>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=FSBWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7OIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7035%2C2922970 |newspaper=Eugene Register-Guard |agency=Associated Press |title='Big Four' now 'Big Five'; Stanford joins new group |date=July 17, 1959 |page=3B }}</ref> When the four schools and Stanford began discussions for a new conference in 1959, retired admiral Thomas J.

On June 17, 2010, the University of Utah accepted an invitation to join the Pac-10 Conference, effective starting July 2011.<ref name="utahpressrelease"/> Utah was a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) with Arizona and Arizona State before those two left for the Pac-10 in 1978. The Utes left an expanded WAC with seven other schools in 1999 to form the new Mountain West Conference. Utah became the first "BCS Buster" to join a BCS conference, having played in (and won) two BCS games beforehand.

On July 27, 2010, the conference unveiled a new logo and announced that the Pac-10 would be renamed the Pac-12 when Utah and Colorado formally joined in July 2011. On October 21, the Pac-12 announced that its football competition would be split into two divisions—a North Division comprising the Pacific Northwest and Bay Area schools, and a South Division comprising the Mountain Time Zone and Southern California schools. On July 1, 2011, the Pac-12 assumed its 12-team alignment when both Colorado and Utah officially joined as full members.

On August 15, 2012, the conference debuted the Pac-12 Network. It was the third college sports conference to launch a dedicated network, and the first to completely fund and own their own network outright.

The conference had been based in Walnut Creek since the late 1970s until August 2014.<ref name="mvghq">{{cite web |last=Smith |first=Michael |date=August 19, 2013 |title=Pac-12 moving its headquarters to San Francisco |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Journal/Issues/2013/08/19/Colleges/Pac-12-move.aspx |access-date=November 22, 2021 |publisher=Sports Business Journal}}</ref> Since 2014, the conference was headquartered in San Francisco, California, with the conference moving to working remotely once the lease expires in June 2023.<ref>{{cite news |title=Going remote: Pac-12 moving out of San Francisco office |url=https://apnews.com/article/sports-business-basketball-las-vegas-mens-2bd0634980bbf7b4e4d19318852b8ce1 |access-date=March 30, 2022 |work=Associated Press |date=March 29, 2022 |language=en}}</ref> The Pac-12 Network and meeting space for headquarters employees are now located at Bishop Ranch in San Ramon, an East Bay suburb.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Moore |first=Sam |title=Pac-12 relocating San Francisco headquarters to East Bay |url=https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/pac-12-relocating-sf-headquarters-17716485.php |access-date=March 16, 2024 |work=SFGATE |language=en}}</ref>

The alliance included an inter-conference scheduling component for football and men's and women's basketball. In 2021, the Pac-12 paid $19.8 million to each of its member schools, the lowest distribution in the Power Five.<ref>{{cite news |date=July 5, 2022 |title=Pac-12 accelerates negotiations for media rights deals in wake of UCLA, USC exits |url=https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/34198300 |access-date=July 6, 2022 |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press}}</ref>

ESPN reportedly had made an offer in which the ten remaining schools would receive around $30 million per year. This was rejected by member schools, who countered with a demand for $50 million per school per year. ESPN responded by walking away from the negotiating table.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.si.com/college/2023/08/11/pac-12-espn-media-rights-negotiations-50-million-ask-per-report|title=ESPN Shut Down Pac-12 Talks After Counteroffer of $50 Million per School, per Report|magazine=Sports Illustrated|date=August 11, 2023|first=Daniel|last=Chavkin|access-date=February 21, 2024}}</ref>

Reports began circulating that Commissioner Kliavkoff had been to the San Diego State University and SMU campuses for tours. This was allegedly part of the conference's vetting process for expansion.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.si.com/college/stanford/football/pac-12-expansion-reportedly-expected-to-include-both-san-diego-state-and-smu|title=Pac-12 expansion reportedly expected to include both San Diego State and SMU|magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=June 16, 2023|first=Kevin|last=Borba|access-date=February 21, 2024}}</ref> San Diego State sent the Mountain West Conference a letter notifying it of the school's impending departure. The Pac-12, however, was adamant about securing a media rights deal before expanding. Without an incoming offer before a June 30, 2023, deadline, San Diego State had to rescind its notice of intention to leave the Mountain West.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/san-diego-state-to-remain-member-of-mountain-west-after-initially-announcing-potential-withdrawal-from-league/ |title=San Diego State to remain member of Mountain West after initially announcing potential withdrawal from league |first=Cameron |last=Salerno |work=CBS Sports |date=July 19, 2023}}</ref>

At the start of Pac-12 Media Days on July 21, 2023, Commissioner Kliavkoff was asked about the status of the media rights deal and conference expansion, deflecting most questions on the matter. Colorado president Rick George left Media Days early to return to Boulder. Less than a week later on July 27, 2023, Colorado announced it would return to the Big 12 as of the 2024–25 school year.<ref name=col-big12>{{Cite press release |title=Colorado To Join Big 12 Conference In 2024–25 |publisher=Colorado Buffaloes |date=July 27, 2023 |url=https://cubuffs.com/news/2023/7/27/general-colorado-to-join-big-12-conference-in-2024-25.aspx}}</ref>

The nine remaining Pac-12 members then demanded an update on the negotiations, including numbers on expected payouts. Kliavkoff came back with a deal from the Apple TV+ streaming service that paid member institutions in the low-to-mid-$20 million range, albeit with escalators for meeting subscriber quotas. On August 4, 2023, Oregon and Washington announced they would be following UCLA and USC to the Big Ten conference for the 2024 season.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/oregon-washington-join-big-ten-programs-depart-pac-12-in-2024-after-serving-as-charter-members-since-1915/ |title= Oregon, Washington join Big Ten: Programs depart Pac-12 in 2024 after serving as charter members since 1915 |work=CBS Sports |date= |access-date=August 4, 2023}}</ref> Later on that same day, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah announced that they would follow Colorado to the Big 12 Conference starting in 2024.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://big12sports.com/news/2023/8/4/big-12-conference-adds-arizona-state-arizona-and-utah.aspx|title=Big 12 Conference Adds Arizona, Arizona State and Utah|website=big12sports.com}}</ref> On September 1, 2023, California and Stanford announced their departure for the Atlantic Coast Conference starting in 2024.<ref name=calsta-acc>{{Cite web|date=September 1, 2023 |title= ACC votes to add Stanford, Cal, SMU: Conference presidents approve expansion to 18 schools |url= https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/acc-votes-to-add-stanford-cal-smu-conference-presidents-approve-expansion-to-18-schools |access-date=September 1, 2023 |website=CBSSports.com |language=en}}</ref>

On September 8, 2023, Oregon State and Washington State filed a lawsuit against the Pac-12 and Commissioner George Kliavkoff in Washington State Superior Court for control of the conference and its assets. They contended that the departing schools, under the conference constitution, forfeited their right to participate in governing the conference by publicly declaring their intention to leave, and that if they retain control they might use it to dissolve the league and drain its millions of dollars in assets.<ref name="OSU WSU lawsuit">{{cite web |url=https://apnews.com/article/conference-realignment-pac12-court-order-a23404ef843d20e921956e571b4426e1 |title= OSU, WSU ask court to prevent departing Pac-12 schools from standing in way of rebuilding conference |last=Russo |first=Ralph |date=September 8, 2023 |website=Associated Press |access-date=November 9, 2023 }}</ref> On November 14, 2023, Judge Gary Libey of the Whitman County, Washington, Superior Court ruled in favor of the two schools.<ref>{{cite web |website=The Athletic |author=Nicole Auerbach and Stewart Mandel |url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5064577/2023/11/14/oregon-state-wazzu-pac-12-board-injunction/ |title=Oregon State, Washington State granted preliminary injunction, gain sole control of Pac-12 |date=November 14, 2023 |access-date=December 16, 2023}}</ref> The University of Washington (UW) filed an emergency motion to keep the two schools from gaining full control of the conference for the 2023–24 academic year; a Washington Supreme Court commissioner granted UW's motion on November 28, 2023.<ref>{{cite web |website=The Athletic |last=Auerbach |first=Nicole |url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5096718/2023/11/28/pac-12-control-lawsuit-washington-state-oregon-state/ |title=Washington wins motion to keep Washington State, Oregon State from sole control of Pac-12 |date=November 28, 2023 |access-date=December 16, 2023}}</ref> However, this was overturned on December 15, 2023, by the Washington State Supreme Court, giving Oregon State and Washington State sole control of the Pac-12, meaning the departing schools will no longer be able to vote on conference decisions.<ref>{{cite web |website=Bleacher Report |last=Stumbaugh |first=Julia |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10101320-oregon-state-wsu-in-control-of-pac-12-after-court-denies-request-to-review-lawsuit |title=Oregon State, WSU in control of Pac-12 After Court Denies Request to Review Lawsuit |date=December 15, 2023 |access-date=December 16, 2023}}</ref>

===Conference re-build and expansion (2024–present)=== Following the victory in the lawsuit, with sole access to all assets of the conference, Oregon State and Washington State were granted permission by the NCAA to act as a defunct conference for the 2024 and 2025 years while planning its future. If they had failed to meet membership requirements by July 1, 2026, the conference would have been disbanded.

Varsity teams for the two schools joined the West Coast Conference, Mountain West Conference, and Intercollegiate Rowing Association, depending on the sport, under temporary two-year agreements. Despite this, the Pac-12 sponsored six sports (football, men's and women's track and field, women's gymnastics, wrestling, and baseball). These teams functioned as independents and made heavy use of scheduling agreements with other conferences but acted under the Pac-12 banner and used Pac-12 promotional and broadcast material.

On September 12, 2024, it was announced that the conference would add four schools from the Mountain West, led by Boise State, with San Diego State, Fresno State, and Colorado State following. This violated an anti-poaching clause in the scheduling agreement contract between the Pac-12 and Mountain West, requiring an additional exit fee payment to the MW, but the Pac-12 filed a lawsuit, arguing that the penalties were extreme and violated antitrust laws.

With the conference now at six members and needing two more to get to the required number for FBS eligibility, the conference reached out to prospective members throughout mid-September, including American Conference members Memphis and Tulane, Mountain West member UNLV, and FBS Independent UConn. During this time, the conference also looked to add a member in Texas, targeting American members UTSA, North Texas, and Rice. It also looked for non-football teams. The West Coast Conference's Gonzaga was the Pac-12 top priority, followed by Saint Mary's and Creighton.

On September 23, 2024, Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UTSA released a joint statement, acknowledging interest by other conferences, but re-affirming their commitment to the American. UNLV also signed a grant of rights with the Mountain West, and so the Pac-12 regrouped, adding Utah State as its seventh conference member. Soon after, Utah State and Colorado State joined the anti-poaching lawsuit against the MW. Boise State also later joined.

On September 30, 2024, it was announced that Gonzaga would join the conference as its eighth full member, but since Gonzaga does not field football, the conference still needed an eighth football-playing member to retain FBS eligibility.

As the Pac-12 looked to add their final required member, Texas State, due to a host of preferred reasons, was largely seen as the favorite.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=ESPN |last=Thamel |first=Pete |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45594710/texas-state-pac-12-expected-finalize-move-soon |title=Sources – Texas State, Pac-12 expected to finalize move soon |date=June 27, 2025 |access-date=June 29, 2025}}</ref> New Mexico State, was floated around as a backup emergency option to get to FBS eligibility if talks with Texas State had fallen through. Saint Mary's (non-football) was also mentioned during this time to boost the conference's basketball abilities.

On June 30, 2025, it was announced that Texas State would join the Pac-12 as its ninth full member and eighth football member, cementing the conference's eligibility for the FBS.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Conference |first=Pac-12 |date=June 30, 2025 |title=Pac-12 Conference welcomes the addition of Texas State University |url=https://pac-12.com/news/2025/6/30/general-pac-12-conference-welcomes-the-addition-of-texas-state-university.aspx}}</ref> It was subsequently reported that the conference was also seeking at least one football-only affiliate to allow for an eight-game conference schedule, with Memphis, UTSA, and Rice named as potential candidates.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Murray |first=Chris |date=July 7, 2025 |title=Morning Download: Pac-12 reportedly focused on adding football-only member |url=https://nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters/morning-download-pac-12-reportedly-focused-on-adding-football-only-member |access-date=July 10, 2025 |website=Nevada Sports Net |language=en}}</ref> In September 2025, it was reported that the Pac-12 was unlikely to add another football playing conference member by 2026, with the conference instead looking towards a timeframe of 2027 to add one of the previously discussed American Conference members. For 2026, the conference instead looked to enter a scheduling agreement with a fellow Group of Six conference, largely believed to be Conference USA, to get the same schedule benefits, to help all conference members get an additional game to help fill out their schedules, as most Pac-12 teams at this time had only scheduled 3–4 non-conference games, so combined with a 7-game conference slate, conference members only had 10–11 regular season games scheduled on the books.

In September and October 2025, the conference acquired multiple affiliate members for specific "Olympic" sports. First, it was announced that the Dallas Baptist Patriots would join as a baseball-only member in 2027, moving from Conference USA.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Clarke |first=Ryan |date=August 20, 2025 |title=Dallas Baptist to join Pac-12 in baseball in 2027 |url=https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/2025/08/dallas-baptist-to-join-pac-12-in-baseball-in-2027.html |access-date=October 11, 2025 |website=oregonlive |language=en}}</ref> Then, the Southern Utah Thunderbirds were announced to be joining for women's gymnastics from the MPSF. Finally, the Northern Illinois Huskies were added for men's wrestling, joining from the MAC.

On March 30, 2026, the conference announced it had entered into a collaborative partnership with the Big West Conference for men's soccer beginning in the 2026 fall season. The three men's soccer programs in the Pac-12 (Gonzaga, Oregon State, and San Diego State) will be joined by four affiliate members from the Big West: Cal Poly, California Baptist, UC Riverside, and UC San Diego, giving both conferences 7 men's soccer programs. Additionally, the two conferences announced they would implement a scheduling collaboration, allowing for crossover matches between programs from both conferences. This arrangement will allow both conferences to maintain their automatic bid to the NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament and sustain men's soccer opportunities in the western United States.<ref>{{Cite press release |date=March 30, 2026 |title=Pac-12 Conference and The Big West Announce Collaborative Men’s Soccer Partnership to Strengthen Opportunities in the West |url=https://pac-12.com/news/2026/3/30/pac-12-conference-and-the-big-west-announce-collaborative-mens-soccer-partnership-to-strengthen-opportunities-in-the-west.aspx}}</ref> This was followed 2 days later with the announcement that the conference would add four more affiliate members for men's wrestling: Air Force, Northern Colorado, North Dakota State, and South Dakota State.<ref>{{Cite press release |date=April 1, 2026 |title=Pac-12 Wrestling strengthens its membership with additions of Air Force, Northern Colorado, North Dakota State and South Dakota State |url=https://pac-12.com/news/2026/3/31/pac-12-wrestling-strengthens-its-membership-with-the-additions-of-air-force-northern-colorado-north-dakota-state-and-south-dakota-state.aspx}}</ref> All four programs would come from the Big 12 Conference, where they previously competed as wrestling affiliates.

During the weekend of April 25th to 26th, 2026, the Pac-12 soft-launched its new conference logo during the spring games of each conference member, The official launch would be on April 27 and it would be the first change to the conference's primary logo since 2011. <ref>{{Cite web|date=April 28, 2026 |title=Pac-12 unveils new primary mark as the foundation of the new league’s brand identity|url=https://pac-12.com/news/2026/4/27/general-pac-12-unveils-new-primary-mark-as-the-foundation-of-the-new-leagues-brand-identity.aspx |access-date=April 27, 2026 |website=Pac-12 Conference |language=en}}</ref> This new logo is a evolution of the previous one with the biggest changes being the removal of the border, a change to the "A" font, a more modern font of the shield as a whole and a switch from the longtime conference color of blue to black to allow for more fiexibility with colors between each member schools.

===Rivalries===

Each of the new six and existing two football schools will still play their main football rivalries, both intraconference and interconference. These rivalries (and the names given to the football forms) are:

====Conference rivalries====

* The Battle Of The Milk Can – The Milk Can Trophy is awarded to the winning athletic department between Boise State and Fresno State. * The Battle For The Old Oil Can – The Old Oil Can Trophy is awarded to the winning athletic department between the two California schools.

{| class="wikitable" |- ! Rivalry name ! Standings |- |align="center"| The Battle Of The Milk Can !style="{{NCAA color cell|Boise State Broncos}}" |'''Boise State leads, 17–9''' |- |align="center"| The Battle For The Old Oil Can !style="{{NCAA color cell|San Diego State Aztecs}}" |'''San Diego State leads, 31–27–4''' |}

The most frequently played rivalry in the conference is between Boise State and Fresno State with 62 meetings through 2024.

====Non-conference rivalries==== Rivalries that are the main rival of a conference member, and are regularly played with a non-conference opponent are as follows:

* Border War – The game between Colorado State and Wyoming awards the Bronze Boot Trophy to the winning athletic department. * Oregon–Oregon State – Though not officially recognized by the universities, the Platypus Trophy is awarded to the winning alumni association. * I-35 Rivalry – The I-35 Series Trophy is awarded to the winning athletic department between Texas State and UTSA. * Battle for the Beehive Boot – A threeway rivalry between Utah State, BYU, and Utah. Utah State plays in the Battle of the Brothers against Utah and the Battle for the Old Wagon Wheel against BYU. * Apple Cup – Known as the Apple Cup, the winner of the game between Washington and Washington State receives the Apple Cup trophy.

The most frequently played rivalry in this list of main rivals of conference members is between Oregon and Oregon State (128 meetings through 2024). This rivalry is one of the most-played rivalries in college football.

===Divisions=== {{See also|Pac-12 Football Championship Game}} On October 21, 2010, the Pac-10 announced the creation of divisions and a championship game in football, to be used when Colorado and Utah joined the conference effective July 1, 2011. The twelve members were split into two divisions for football only: a North Division comprising the Pacific Northwest and Bay Area schools, and a South Division comprising the Mountain Time Zone and Los Angeles schools.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pac-10.org/News/tabid/863/Article/214501/historic-decisions-by-chancellors-and-presidents-define-the-future-pac-12-confe.aspx|title=Pac-12|access-date=September 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101024104737/http://www.pac-10.org/News/tabid/863/Article/214501/historic-decisions-by-chancellors-and-presidents-define-the-future-pac-12-confe.aspx|archive-date=October 24, 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A nine-game conference schedule was maintained, with five games within the assigned division and four games from the opposite division. The four California teams, noted in the table in gray, still played each other every season— consequently, the four non-California teams in each division will only play one of the two California teams from the opposite division each year.

The Pac-12 Football Championship Game featured the North Division Champion against the South Division Champion for the first 11 years of its existence, with divisional champions determined based on record in all conference games (both divisional and cross-divisional). However, on May 18, 2022, the NCAA Division I Council announced that conferences would no longer be required to maintain divisions in order to hold a conference championship. As a result, later that same day, the Pac-12 announced that it would eliminate its divisions for the 2022 football season and beyond, with the championship game instead featuring the two Pac-12 teams with the highest winning percentage.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/ncaa-football/pac-12-scraps-divisions-2022-college-football-season#:~:text=Divisions%20are%20a%20thing%20of,with%20the%20best%20winning%20percentage |title=Pac-12 scraps divisions starting in the 2022 college football |last=Parks |first=James |date=May 18, 2022 |website=si.com |publisher=Sports Illustrated |access-date=June 8, 2022 }}</ref> It was the first FBS conference to scrap its divisions as a result of this change.

===Bowl games=== As of the 2023 college football season, the following is the selection order of bowl games with Pac-12 tie-ins. If a Pac-12 team is selected to participate in the College Football Playoff, all other bowl-eligible teams move up one spot in the order.

===National championships, Final Fours, and NCAA tournament appearances=== Pac-12 Conference basketball programs have combined to win 15 NCAA men's basketball championships as Pac-12 members, with another member having won a national championship before joining the conference. UCLA has won 11 national championships with Arizona, California, Oregon, Stanford winning one each as Pac-12 members, and Utah winning one national championship as a member of the Mountain States Conference. Eleven of the twelve legacy Pac-12 schools advanced to at least one Final Four before the 2024 mass departure, with Arizona State the only school that had not made an appearance. Future members Gonzaga and San Diego State have also reached the Final Four.
