Pac-12 Championship Game
The Pac-12 Championship Game, its thirteenth and final championship game, was played on December 1, 2023, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada . Starting in 2022, the conference had no divisions, and the two teams with the highest conference winning percentage faced off in the championship game.
Postseason
Bowl games
For the 2020–2025 bowl cycle, The Pac-12 will have annually seven appearances in the following bowls: Rose Bowl (unless they are selected for playoffs filled by a Pac-12 team if champion is in the playoffs), LA Bowl , Las Vegas Bowl , Alamo Bowl , Holiday Bowl , and Sun Bowl . The Pac-12 teams will go to a New Year's Six bowl if a team finishes higher than the champions of Power Five conferences in the final College Football Playoff rankings. The Pac-12 champion are also eligible for the College Football Playoff if they're among the top four teams in the final CFP ranking. On August 27, Arizona State announced a self imposed 2023 bowl game ban due to recruiting violations from the 2020 season, making them ineligible for post season play.[ 51]

All-Americans
Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I-FBS football and Division I men's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources. The system consists of three points for a first-team honor, two points for second-team honor, and one point for third-team honor. Honorable mention and fourth team or lower recognitions are not accorded any points. College Football All-American consensus teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named first team consensus all-American. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN , and the WCFF to determine Consensus and Unanimous All-Americans. Any player named to the First Team by all five of the NCAA-recognized selectors is deemed a Unanimous All-American.[ 68] [ 69]
