This is a list of annual Pac-12 Conference football champions. Co-champions are listed with the conference's Rose Bowl representative first. Pacific Coast Conference results are included. Since 2011, the Pac-12 Football Championship Game has determined the champion. PCC champions were awarded the Schwabacher Trophy.[better source needed] In 2024, the conference was reduced to two teams following conference realignment. While the remaining schools, Oregon State and Washington State, formed a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West Conference, those games did not count towards the Pac-12 standings.
