Pac-12 establishes cancelation, tiebreaker procedures
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Pac-12 has established cancellation and tiebreaker policies for its virus-truncated football season.
The conference announced Monday that a minimum threshold of at least 53 scholarship players — with various position minimums — must be available for any team to participate in a game. If a school does not elect to play the game shorthanded, the game will be rescheduled or declared a no contest.
The Pac-12's seven-game, conference-only season is scheduled to begin Nov. 7 and the conference is taking potential cancellations into account in its tiebreaker policies.

Multiple team ties with an unbalanced schedule will be broken by head-to-head results, followed by record in common conference games, then College Football Playoff ranking.
