The 2013 Pac-12 Conference football season began on August 29, 2013 with USC at Hawaii. The conference's first game was played on September 7, 2013 with Washington State winning over USC, and the final game was the Pac-12 Championship Game on December 7, 2013. This is the third season for the conference as a 12-team league. The Sagarin Ratings had the Pac-12 as the best conference in the nation top to bottom in the final rating of the season.

Previous season

The Second Pac-12 Championship Game was held on Friday, November 20, 2012. Stanford, the North Division Champions, defeated UCLA, the South Division Champions, to claim their thirteenth conference title.

The Stanford Cardinal ended the regular season with an 11–2 record which earned the team a berth in the Rose Bowl, where they defeated Wisconsin for their first Rose Bowl win since 1972. Oregon won eleven games and lost to Stanford and earned an at-large BCS berth. The Ducks defeated the Big 12 co-champion Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl. Arizona beat Nevada and Arizona State beat Navy while Washington was defeated by Boise State, UCLA was defeated by Baylor, Oregon State was defeated by Texas, and USC was defeated by Georgia Tech in non-BCS bowls. The Pac-12 went 4–4 in all bowls, with a 2–0 mark in BCS bowls and 2–4 in non-BCS bowls.
