Awesome to see a game added on short notice! Michelle Smith for ESPN posted the other day she had heard rumblings that the inability to get last minute PAC12 scheduling changes done was due to some programs lack of willingness to play those makeup games.  Our staff clearly wants to play games against anyone. We are not the program(s) Smith is referencing. Arizona/USC also have a makeup game scheduled so they are not the issues. Wonder which schools are being "difficult."

I was going to guess that most likely it's the schools that are already out of it as far as the post-season goes.  But every school in the conference has a winning overall record thus far and no one has more than 5 losses.  OTOH maybe a school like Colorado, with a gaudy 12-0 record at this point, wants to "protect" itself by eliminating tougher games in the hope they can still get to the magic level of around 20 wins that traditionally gets an NCAA bid.

Or maybe none of the above and I'm all wet as usual, LOL.
