The objective of the two conferences is to play 12 inter-conference games by the 2017 season and sooner if possible. Each Big Ten school will play a team from the Pac-12 each season.

The Big Ten also announced that they will stay at eight non-conference games rather than nine. Earlier this year, the B1G stated their desire to move to a nine-game conference schedule.

From the New York Times:

The football possibilities of the agreement are tantalizing in an era in which early-season nonconference schedules often feature traditional powers playing inferior opponents. The Pac-12-Big Ten games will be created to match up programs of similar strength, meaning that marquee games like Ohio State versus Southern California, Wisconsin versus Stanford and Michigan versus Oregon could soon be seen early in the season.

Delany said the games would most likely be played in the second, third and fourth weeks of the season. Scott said they could be incorporated into events like season kickoff games.

The two conferences have also discussed creating another bowl game for the two schools to play each other in. Currently, the only Big Ten vs. Pac-12 bowl game is the Rose Bowl, which pits the champions of each conference against each other.

“As other conferences continue to grow through expansion, we believe there is great merit in deepening the historic relationship between the Big Ten and Pac-12,” said Big Ten Commissioner James E. Delany. “We believe that both conferences can preserve that sense of collegiality and still grow nationally by leveraging our commonalities in a way that benefits student-athletes, fans and alumni. This collaboration can and will touch many institutional undertakings, and will complement our academic and athletic missions.”

“Through numerous conversations over the past several months with stakeholders from the Big Ten and Pac-12, we decided there would be great value in building upon the history and collegiality that exists between our member institutions, by initially committing to an increased frequency of play between our schools in all sports,” said Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott.

The game will be played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California on Monday, January 2, 2012 (5:00 p.m. ET – ESPN).

The Badgers lead the overall series against the Ducks 3-1. In their last meeting in 2001, Oregon won 31-28 in Eugene.

Oregon, 2011 Pac-12 Champions, finished the season 11-2 and ranked 5th in the BCS. Wisconsin, 2011 Big Ten Champions, finished 11-2 and ranked 10th in the BCS.

The game is currently set for November 30, 2013 at Stanford Stadium in California. If the two schools agree to the location change, it’s likely that the game would be played earlier in the season.

And due to the long distance, it’s possible the game could be played in mid-August. Stanford, which would probably fly out of San Francisco, would have almost a 13 hour flight.

Notre Dame would likely have to make a connecting flight to Chicago. From there, the Fighting Irish would be in the air just over 14 hours.

Notre Dame’s 2013 schedule, which is near completion, also features games against Air Force, Arizona State (at Cowboys Stadium), BYU,  Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh and USC.

Other non-conference games for the Cardinal in 2013 include San Jose State and at Army. The Pac-12 schedule has not been announced yet.

BYU will open the 2012 season against Washington State at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Sept. 1. The BYU Cougars will then travel to face the Washington State Cougars at Martin Stadium in 2013 on a date to be determined.

“We’re excited to finalize this series with Washington State,” said BYU director of athletics Tom Holmoe. “It fits well with our philosophy of scheduling regional games with quality opponents. It also gives our fans in the Northwest another opportunity to see our football team play live.”

BYU leads the all-time series against Washington State 2-1. BYU won the first meeting 38-36 in the 1981 Holiday Bowl. In 1989 and 1990, the schools split two games in Provo.

BYU was previously slated to travel to Georgia Tech on Sept. 1, 2012, but will now host Washington State. This is the second time that the 2012 game against Georgia Tech has been moved. The initial series announcement had BYU visiting Georgia Tech on Oct. 13, but a home game against Oregon State now occupies that date.

The 2012 game at BYU completes Washington State’s non-conference schedule. WSU also hosts Eastern Washington and travels to UNLV.

Colorado opens the 2012 season against in-state rival Colorado State on Sept. 1 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver. The Buffaloes lead the all-time series against the Rams 61-21-2.

On Sept. 8, Colorado hosts the Sacramento State Hornets at Folsom Field. The game will be the first ever meeting between the two schools.

Colorado’s final 2012 non-conference game is Sept. 15 at Fresno State. The series, which Colorado leads 4-1, has never been played in Fresno. The two schools have played in Boulder four times and once in the Aloha Bowl.

Pac-12 home games for the Buffaloes include Arizona State, Stanford, UCLA, Utah and Washington. Colorado will travel to face Arizona, Oregon, USC and Washington State. Dates for these games have yet to be announced.
