List of Pac-12 Conference football champions
(Redirected from List of Pacific-12 Conference football champions)
This is a list of annual Pac-12 Conference football champions. Co-champions are listed with the conference's Rose Bowl representative first. Pacific Coast Conference results are included. Since 2011, the Pac-12 Football Championship Game has determined the champion. PCC champions were awarded the Schwabacher Trophy.[1][2][better source needed] In 2024, the conference was reduced to two teams following conference realignment. While the remaining schools, Oregon State and Washington State, formed a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West Conference, those games did not count towards the Pac-12 standings.[3]

† The NCAA sanctioned USC in June, 2010 for violations in the football, men's basketball, and women's tennis programs. USC football vacated two wins from their final two games of the 2004 season (one conference game and a bowl game) and all 12 wins from the 2005 season, as well as the conference titles from both years. Their 2004 BCS National Championship was vacated, while their 2004 Associated Press title was not removed.[5][6][4]
‡ California claims five national titles that are based upon one contemporary "major selector" (Dick Dunkel in 1937) and seven retrospective selectors listed in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision Records (five of the eight selectors being math systems).[7]: 107–109
§ Stanford was selected in 1926 by a contemporary “major selector” (Frank Dickinson) and later by three retrospective selectors (two of the four being math systems).[7]
@ USC claims national titles in 1931 and 1932 that are based upon four contemporary “major selectors” (William Boand, Frank Dickinson, Dick Dunkel, and Deke Houlgate) and nine later retrospective selectors (nine of the 13 selectors being math systems). USC claims national titles in 1928 and 1939 that are based upon a contemporary selector (Dickinson) and a retrospective selector (1928 only), both math systems.[7]
^ Washington was selected in 1960 by the Helms Athletic Foundation.[7]
