Pac-12 announces game times, TV designations for Week 7

The Pac-12 on Monday released the television schedules and networks for the slate of games on Oct. 16 — Week 7 of Pac-12 football action — which will kick off as early as Friday night.

The time of opening kickoff, as well as the networks on which each game will be broadcasted, is listed below in order of start time. Times are displayed in Eastern Standard Time.

California at Oregon, 10:30 p.m. on ESPN (Friday, Oct. 15)

California, sitting at 1-4 overall and 0-1 in Pac-12 play, is far from a strong Pac-12 opponent. Oregon, however, previously ranked in the nation’s top-five after a road victory at Ohio State, fell from grace this past weekend after an overtime loss to Stanford. Oregon will look to get back on its horse against California, as the Ducks have a bye week prior.

Arizona at Colorado, 3:30 p.m. on ESPNU

Arizona had an early-season bye this past week, and the Wildcats had a week to dissect a tough Pac-12 loss to Oregon on Sept. 25. The Wildcats fell 41-19, and they’ll face a Colorado team that’s had its own fair share of struggles. Colorado has a bye week prior to the contest, but enters with four consecutive losses to Texas A&M, Minnesota, Arizona State and USC.

Stanford at Washington State, 7:30 p.m. on ESPNU

Washington State picked up its first Pac-12 win last week, but a win over California won’t carry much weight. The Cougars fell handedly in their only other Pac-12 game to USC, 45-14, and will soon face an Oregon State team that beat both USC and Washington in Pac-12 play.

UCLA at Washington, 8:30 p.m. on FOX

UCLA, much like Oregon, has fallen off substantially in the past few weeks. After a season-opening win over LSU, many thought the Bruins would be one of the top teams to beat in the Pac-12; though they managed to beat Stanford, they lost a nonconference game to Fresno State and a Pac-12 game to Arizona State, making their road game against Arizona even more important.

Arizona State at Utah, 10:00 p.m./11:00 p.m. on ESPN (kickoff time to be determined at a later date)

Herm Edwards has Arizona off to a solid start, as the Sun Devils have beaten UNLV and two Pac-12 opponents in UCLA and Colorado. Their only loss of the season came against BYU, and they’ll enter the Utah contest after a home game against Stanford.
