Notes

  1. [a]
    This game was arranged last-minute due to Colorado State dropping out due to COVID-19-related concerns. Due to these emergency circumstances, despite Oregon State being a member of the Pac-12, this game was, for technical reasons, considered a non-conference game and did not count towards the conference standings.[2]
