I’ve done the Pac-12 tiebreaker logic puzzle. They didn’t expect this many canceled games when they drew this up.
Wazzu’s game against USC tomorrow and Beavlets game against Utah tonight still matter.
If 4-1 Washington and 3-1 Wazzu both win out they are tied for first. Washington wins on tie breaker
If Washington loses and Wazzu is 3-1 then Wazzu wins.
Then it gets complicated. If Oregon wins out and Wazzu loses 1/2 they win, unless there is a multi team tie that involves Oregon State. It gets even worse from there.
Everyone except Cal can finish tied for first, only Washington controls their destiny and even that could be challenged if Wazzu finished 3-1.

I’d assume they’d give it to UW. 4-1 > 3-1 and too bad coogs it’s a weird year.
If WSU Wins out and UW beats Oregon, here are the tiebreakers.
1. Head-to-head (best record in games among the tied teams) 2. Record in games played within the division
Stop right there. Kind of ambiguous. UW would be 2-1, WSU would be 3-1
3. Record against the next highest placed team in the division (based on record in all games played within the Conference), proceeding through the division 4. Record in common Conference games 5. Team with the highest College Football Playoff (CFP) ranking 6. Cumulative winning percentage of each tied team’s Conference opponents 7. Highest ranking by SportSource Analytics following the last weekend of regular-season games

Number of wins as long as it’s +\- within one doesn’t matter. Losses are what counts. 4-1 is the same as 3-1 in the tie breaker scenario.
Washington would get the tie breaker because they would have the head to head over the next highest placed division team. Both beat Beavlet, Wazzu didn’t play Stanford, and Cal can’t finish above Stanford. That means Oregon.
I should add that as long as Wazzu is within +\- 1 game of the average number of games played by conference teams. That number is 4.8 or something so teams must play at least 4.
Wazzu not beating usc and cal. Next week is still a huge game regardless of the little numbers beside the name. If the pac had a normal year each team would be something like 9-2 with ooc games.
If uw can pull it off this years conference championship means just as much as any other year and is probably more impressive considering all the hurdles

Agreed. The winner will feel a lot better about the season.

“Probably more impressive...”
You haven’t even played a road game yet you weirdo.

Preface: what a sad and strange reality. I just watched the worst Oregon performance of my girlfriend's cat's lifetim (he wasn't born for Oregon-Arizona 2018) and now I made a mental chart of division championship scenarios that will only happen if 1-1 Cuog somehow beats USC on a Sunday.
Note: all of this is moot if either team loses or one of Wazzu's games is canceled and they will be at 3 games played when the minimum to be eligible will be 4. The minimum is calculated by average number of games played by teams and then within 1 game of that, but by 1 game they mean 1 rounded down, so 5.25 is 4. There have been 9 cancelations out of 72 potential games, on pace for 5.25 which would mean 4 games is enough. Even if all games are canceled it doesn't get it to where 3 games is enough. Berkeley has a stay at home order starting tomorrow, game is in Pullman.
Wazzu is playing a South division team tomorrow, so both teams will have the same number of divisional games. It wouldn't matter if it was 3-1 against 2-1 anyway, since the pandemic rules say if you have the same number of loses and your number of wins is within one you're tied.
It would come down to tie breaker number 3. The only teams both would have played are Oregon State and Oregon. Stanford can finish ahead of Oregon, but Wazzu hasn't played them. 0-1 is the same as 0-0 in that case. Since this case has Washington beating Oregon they would get the tiebreaker.
Tiebreaker 4 is the same, since there are no other common games. Tiebreaker 5 is possible, if either team is ranked. Tiebreaker 6 would depend on who has a better combined winning percentage: USC+Cal or Utah+Arizona+Stanford.

I can’t name one thing they do well. In fact most of what they do is poor.
