Utah and Colorado should fit right in when Pac-12 play begins next fall, at least in terms of playing tough nonconference schedules.
The Utes will maintain their rivalry with BYU and they also visit Pittsburgh. Colorado has two tough road trips -- at Hawaii to open and at Ohio State -- as well as its rivalry game with Colorado State.
As a whole, it will be another tough year of nonconference scheduling, with games against Oklahoma State, Missouri, LSU, Wisconsin, Texas, Notre Dame and Nebraska being highlights.
