Pac-12 leftovers Oregon State and Washington State will play two games against each other in 2025, the schools announced Wednesday.

The home-and-home matchup is making it easier for the schools to fill up their schedules for next season. The agreement completed Oregon State's 12-game slate while Washington State has 10 announced opponents.

Oregon State will host the Cougars on Nov. 1, while Washington State will host the Beavers on Nov. 29.

"We're excited to have a second straight year with seven dates at Reser Stadium," Beavers athletic director Scott Barnes said in a news release. "We elected to play two games against Washington State in order to maximize the strength of this schedule, which includes intriguing matchups both at home and on the road."

The two schools were left behind after the collapse of the Pac-12. They are part of a pledged league to begin play in 2026 that includes current Mountain West members Boise State, San Diego State, Colorado State, Fresno State and Utah State. Gonzaga is a basketball member.

Oregon State's 2025 schedule includes a road game against longtime rival Oregon. The Beavers also visit Texas Tech while the home slate includes games against Cal and Wake Forest.

Washington State has two games to fill. The Cougars host Washington in their annual Apple Cup matchup and also have San Diego State visiting Pullman. The road slate includes trips to Virginia and Ole Miss.

Oregon State and Washington State had a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West for this season but that won't continue. After the breakdown in negotiations, the five Mountain West teams opted to join the two schools to form a revised Pac-12.
