The Arizona Wildcats will finish their home season with an afternoon kickoff against Oregon, which is No. 5 in the BCS standings.
The game will begin at 1:30 p.m. Tucson time from Arizona Stadium and will be televised by ESPN2/ABC regional in its reverse mirror format, the school announced Sunday night.
Part of the country will see Oregon-Arizona on ABC, with Ohio State’s game at Indiana showing on ESPN2 at the same time. The rest of the country will have the Ohio State-Indiana game on ABC, with Oregon-Arizona on ESPN2.
ESPN will release a coverage map at mid-week.
The marquee conference game of the weekend is Arizona State at UCLA, which will start at 5 p.m. MST on FOX. The Sun Devils would clinch the South division with a victory. The Bruins would control their destiny in the South race, with a game left against USC, if they won.
Oregon (9-1 overall, 6-1 Pac-12) is back in the driver’s seat in the Pac-12 North after Stanford’s loss to USC on Saturday night. If the Ducks win at Arizona and at home against Oregon State, they will host the conference championship game against the South champ.
(There’s a chance Oregon and Arizona State could end up with 8-1 league records, but, in case of a tie between teams that did not play in the regular season, the home game goes to the team with the better rank in the BCS standings.)
Arizona (6-4, 3-4) is coming off a 24-17 loss to Washington State. The Cats have lost five in a row to the Ducks, including a 49-0 defeat in Eugene last season.
