It was the final season with Arizona, Arizona State, California, Colorado, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Utah, and Washington who will be leaving to join the Big 12 (Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado & Utah), ACC (California and Stanford) and Big Ten (Oregon, UCLA, USC & Washington) following the 2023–24 academic year. [1] [2] [3] [4]

On August 27, Arizona State announced a self imposed 2023 bowl game ban due to recruiting violations from the 2020 season. [5]

Honorable mentions

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]
