It appears that each former member of the north and south division respectively is still playing a round robin schedule against each other and an additional 4 conference games against former members of the other division. So… the conference hasn’t scrapped divisional play but only dismissed recognition that it is actually conducting divisional play.

I noticed the same thing.
As a Pac-12 fan, I think it’s quite disingenuous to get rid of divisions, but keep the divisional scheduling.

Yes, and they never technically said we are “getting rid of divisions.” They changed their championship game format and stated the scheduling format based on divisions would remain.

The point is the PAC-12 altered its playoff determinants and nothing else. With USC and UCLA leaving, the conference better mitigate the aftereffect declension toward Group-of-5-like status in some other manor.

Arizona at Mississippi State – September 9th
Auburn at California – September 9th
