Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The state of Arizona lies entirely within the Mountain Time Zone, but does not observe Daylight saving time (excluding the Navajo Nation), so it is effectively the same as Pacific Daylight Time from mid-March until the first Sunday of November. Therefore, kickoffs from Weeks 1–7 are synchronized with Pacific time.
