The 2023 Pac-12 Conference football season was the 45th season of Pac-12 football taking place during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The season began on August 26, 2023, and ended with the 2023 Pac-12 Championship Game on December 1, 2023, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.

The Pac-12 is a Power Five conference under the College Football Playoff format along with the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big 12 Conference, Big Ten Conference, and the Southeastern Conference.

The 2023 season was the second since the conference expanded to 12 teams in 2011 in which Pac-12 teams are not split into divisions. It was the final season with Arizona, Arizona State, California, Colorado, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Utah, and Washington who all left to join the Big 12 (Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado & Utah), ACC (California and Stanford) and Big Ten (Oregon, UCLA, USC & Washington) following the 2023–24 academic year.[1] [2] [3] [4]

On August 27, Arizona State announced a self imposed 2023 bowl game ban due to recruiting violations from the 2020 season.[5]

Previous season

The Utah Utes defeated the USC Trojans 47–24 in the Pac-12 Football Championship Game.

Oregon defeated North Carolina 28–27 in the Holiday Bowl. Washington defeated Texas 27–20 in the Alamo Bowl. UCLA lost to Pitt 37–35 in the Sun Bowl. USC lost to Tulane 46–45 in the Cotton Bowl.

Honorable mentions

All-Americans

Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I-FBS football and Division I men's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources. The system consists of three points for a first-team honor, two points for second-team honor, and one point for third-team honor. Honorable mention and fourth team or lower recognitions are not accorded any points. College Football All-American consensus teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named first team consensus all-American. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine Consensus and Unanimous All-Americans. Any player named to the First Team by all five of the NCAA-recognized selectors is deemed a Unanimous All-American.[68] [69]
