In one scenario, Grant Gunnell and the Wildcats would play five home games and five road games this fall β€” all against Pac-12 foes.

The Pac-12 unveiled its shortened 2020 college football schedule on Friday, and the Arizona Wildcats' plans have been turned upside down. The UA added a home game against Cal, moved a home game against Stanford to the road, and learned that its Territorial Cup game against Arizona State β€” a November tradition for decades β€” has been moved … to Week 1.
Here's a look at Arizona's game-by-game schedule as the UA builds toward a Sept. 26 season opener. All kickoff times will be announced at a later date.
