Complete Pac-12 Release, 2011 Schedule and 8-Year Rotation in PDF Format
USC's revamped 2011 football schedule, which incorporates revisions made to accommodate the expanded Pacific-12 Conference, has been announced.
As a member of the Pac-12 South division, the Trojans will play every Pac-12 South opponent in 2011, as well as Pac-12 North foes California, Stanford, Oregon and Washington.
USC's 2011 non-conference schedule remains unchanged, with home games against Minnesota (Sept. 3) and Syracuse (Sept. 17) and a road contest at Notre Dame (Oct. 22).
Troy opens 2011 league play on Sept. 10 at Utah, a new conference member along with Colorado.
USC's other conference road games next season are at Arizona State (Sept. 24), California (Oct. 13), Colorado (Nov. 5) and Oregon (Nov. 19). The California game will be held on a Thursday night at San Francisco's AT&T Park.
The Trojans' home Pac-12 games next year are versus Arizona (Oct. 1), Stanford (Oct. 29), Washington (Nov. 12) and UCLA (Nov. 26). Troy plays its first 3 games of 2011 at home and 4 of the its first 5.
USC will not face Pac-12 North teams Oregon State and Washington State in 2011.
The conference also released the 8-year rotation model for future scheduling. The 2012 schedule will include the same set of opponents as the 2011 schedule, with games played at opposite sites. Dates of those games are to be determined.
"We are pleased to follow the announcement of the Pac-12 North-South divisional alignment with the release of our 2011 football schedule, and a future conference football scheduling model that maintains important traditional rivalries, and will create some very exciting match-ups in our new 12-team conference," stated Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott.
The 2011 Pac-12 season culminates on Dec. 3 with the first-ever Pac-12 Championship game. That game will be played at the home site of the division champion with the best overall conference record.
