Top 10 Pac-12 Non-Conference games for 2023

Washington at Michigan State

Michigan State’s Week 3 home game against Washington will be broadcasted exclusively on NBC’s streaming service, Peacock. That means fans who don’t want to pay $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year, subscription cost won’t be able to watch the game at home. It also means fans won’t be able to watch the game from their favorite game day local bar or restaurant unless that establishment has a Peacock subscription. The Huskies lead the all-time series 3-1 over the Spartans.

Auburn at California

Auburn and Cal have never met on the gridiron. Auburn is 10-3 all-time against teams from the Pac-12, with their most recent win coming against Oregon in the 2019 season opener. The Saturday night ESPN game will kick off at 10:30 ET//7:30 p.m. PT. It will be Cal’s first game against a Southeastern Conference team since 2019 when the Bears beat Mississippi 28-20 on the road.  It will also be Cal’s first home game against an SEC team since the Bears defeated Ole Miss 27-16 in 2017.

Utah at Baylor

This will be the first time the two teams have faced off, which is pretty significant. This matchup is coming off the heels of a very interesting, year-long, speculation as to whether Utah and other Pac-12 schools will eventually join the Big 12.

Baylor will be led by third-year head coach Dave Aranda, who holds a 20-16 record overall. The outlook for Utah in 2023 is strong beside the injury to star quarterback Cameron Rising, the optimism for a team that returns the majority of the roster that won two  Pac-12 championships
