The 2014 football schedule for the PAC-12 Conference is now available on The Howell Report. As most fans know, the PAC-12 consists of twelve teams divided into two divisions named North and South. The North division contains California-Berkeley (CAL), Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington, and Washington State. The South division consists of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Southern California (USC), UCLA, and Utah. Last season, the PAC-12 was very competitive league. Despite Stanford's loss in the Rose Bowl to Michigan State, and the coaching changes at USC, the league's teams finished last season with a 6-3 postseason bowl record. Only the Southeastern Conference had a better postseason record among the power conferences. The 2014 season features some exciting non-conference games, including Michigan State vs. Oregon, Michigan vs. Utah, California vs. Northwestern, Stanford vs. Notre Dame, Washington vs. Illinois, Southern California vs. Boston College, Notre Dame vs. Southern California, UCLA vs. Texas, and Washington State vs. Rutgers.
