Summer workouts are under way. Fall camp is coming soon.
And that means it’s time to start taking an in-depth look at San Diego State’s schedule for a pivotal season.

Four of their 2025 opponents will be part of the reconstituted Pac-12: current MW foes Boise State, Colorado State and Fresno State, as well as Washington State, which, along with Oregon State, are the two holdovers from the earth-shaking Pac-12 breakup of two summers ago.
It will be a farewell to Nevada, Wyoming, Hawaii, San Jose State and New Mexico. The Aztecs miss the three teams that beat them to end last season: UNLV, a popular pick to finish second behind Boise State, Utah State and Air Force.
SDSU hosted both Wazzu and Oregon State last year as part of an agreement between the MW and the Pac-12 survivors. That agreement wasn’t renewed this season.
