This fall, the Cougars are playing a quasi-independent schedule unlike any in program history. After the traditional Pac-12 collapsed in August 2023, WSU and Oregon State struck a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West, which provided both schools with opponents for 2024. But that agreement did not continue for 2025 — forcing the Cougars and Beavers to fill out their schedules with opponents around the country.
WSU will be facing several opponents for the first time this season, including Ole Miss, Virginia, Louisiana Tech, James Madison, Toledo and North Texas. This season will be JMU’s third as FBS members, making the jump from FCS in time for the 2022 season.

For WSU and OSU, this season will be the last before the rebuilt Pac-12 launches beginning in the 2026 season.
The conference still needs one football-playing member to be recognized by the NCAA and eligible for the College Football Playoff. It is also working to finalize its media rights agreement, which is widely expected to be announced this summer.
The Pac-12’s new members include Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Gonzaga (basketball only) and Utah State. That makes seven football schools — one below the required eight.
