Washington and Colorado will begin the 2017 Pac-12 conference schedule much the way they ended 2016.

The two participants in the 2016 Pac-12 Championship Game will meet in Boulder on Sep. 23 in the conference opener for each team. Washington beat Colorado 41-10 to win the 2016 Pac-12 title and head to the College Football Playoff.

The first Pac-12 game of the season will pit Stanford and USC in Week 2. The Trojans’ schedule is notable as their bye week comes on Nov. 25, the final week of the college football season. USC will play 13-straight games to open the season before having a week off before a potential Pac-12 title game appearance.

The Trojans’ schedule also includes a road trip to Washington State on a short week after playing at Cal. Perhaps USC coach Clay Helton will have the same gripes former Cal coach Sonny Dykes did about Pac-12 scheduling.

Here’s the entire Pac-12 conference schedule for 2017 below. The title game will either be on Friday, Dec. 1 or Saturday, Dec. 2 and televised on ESPN.
