The Pac-12 got creative and was able to pull off five games this weekend thanks to a bit of nimbleness from UCLA and Cal. The Bruins and Bears saw their opponents (Utah and Arizona State, respectively) get knocked out of action earlier in the week due to COVID-19 testing and contact tracing, so the conference decided on Friday to plan an impromptu game between the two sides for Sunday morning (more Pac-12 After Dawn!).
That type of flexibility is exactly the approach the conference needs in order to maximize the scarce weeks left on the schedule, so the league earns points for finding a way.
