To have a shot, we need the ducks to beat utah and then lose to the beavs. That will set up a 3 way tie which will go way down the tiebreaker list. The fact Oregon didn't play ASU is helpful. It will take a supercomputer to pick the team to compete with SC.
No, it's much simpler than that. Your own link from a couple posts ago notes that in a multi-team tiebreaker the tie goes to the team with the best head-to-head results. Where Oregon, Utah, and UW are all 7-2, that tie breaker belongs to UW.
Ducks win today, ducks lose to OSU, and UW beats WSU results in a USC-UW championship game.
UW and Utah haven’t played each other though so it goes to step 2 so it says
I’m hoping for a DeBoner-Whittingham duel. Whittington might get in a few punches, but I’m liking our chances with DeBoner wrapping up and pinning the Ute.
This is right. If UCLA beats Cal (plus UW and OSU winning) we have a 3 way tie with UW/Utah/Oregon at 7-2 then OSU/UCLA at 6-3
Three way tiebreakers are: 1. Head-to-head (best cumulative win percentage in games among the tied teams). If not every tied team has played each other, go to step 2.
Washington has not played Utah go to step 2
2. Win percentage against all common conference opponents (must be common among all teams involved in the tie)
Common opponents are Stanford/UCLA/Arizona/OSU/Colorado/Wazzu, all are 5-1
3. Record against the next highest placed common opponent in the standings (based on record in all games played within the conference), proceeding through the standings. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s win percentage against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure) rather than the performance against individual tied teams.
OSU/UCLA are considered as a grouping so all 3 are 1-1 against that set then have beaten the remaining common opponents
4. Combined win percentage in conference games of conference opponents (ie, strength of conference schedule)
Utah wins with their Oregon/USC/ASU schedule being hardest of the three tied teams.

Go Beavs.
If SC chokes to ND it will be hilariously bad for p12 title game and double ny6 bids.
UW has to beat Wazzu
Oregon St has to beat Oregon
AND
CAL has to beat UCLA

PAC-12 sucks, no more math homework please
