    I thought we needed USC to beat UCLA, Oregon to beat Utah, and Oregon State to beat Oregon

    how does UW not get in, in that scenario???

    Cal also has to beat UCLA

    Why? UCLA would have 3 conference losses...

    We can only play USC (replacing Oregon as the #2 seed), the two threads of results we need are both unlikely to happen.

    What did the chart get wrong to where we couldn't play Utah? Not being facetious, I'm genuinely curious.

    Ugh, I thought it was common knowledge that we need beavlet to win out, UCLA to lose out, and Oregon to beat Utah (and obviously lose to beavlet). The alternate thread is Colorado beats Utah which isn't happening.

    So it looked like SC against UW in 1 scenario was all that was possible. Then again it's Twitter.
    It's a rivalry game, anything can happen!

    I think this is correct. From what i gather in a tie with Utah the tiebreaker is record vs the highest finishing common p12 opponent. We beat oregon and Utah will lose. Utah beat ASU who we lost to but ASU finished below oregon.

    Hope this is correct. Biggest upset would be Beav over oregon.

    Pac 12 will make sure they get their premiere LA programs in the CCG. "Good luck in the B10 rep the West!"

    Too bad there is no North and South this year. I guess.

    That happened because the North embarrassed the South for pretty much the whole Pac 12 era.
    The idea was that in the playoff era, if the conference has any chance at producing a playoff team, they need the highest quality championship game available to boost the ranking.

    It avoids one of those weird years where a team loses a few ooc games and then lucks into winning the division with 2 more losses. Then playoff hopeful is playing unranked drek for the title in vegas.

    Yeah, after looking at the decision tree of dreck that is the result of UW dropping two road games in a row, FTX U needs to beat UCLA. However if UCLA loses this weekend they might not care and quit on Chip.

    UCLA could implode, but Charbonnet is a really good RB and UCLA can put up some points on USC. DTR is having a big season too and has been very efficient. USC is 8th in the PAC 12 in rush defense so hopefully Charbonnet has a big game.

    Tough game to predict. I don’t think USC is all that good. Arizona was only down 2 going into the 4th vs USC. Both teams have a lot on the line and hopefully UCLA is fired up after blowing it vs Arizona last week.

    Edit: I’m an idiot and just realized we want USC to win. The reality is, the ASU loss fucked us and it’s gonna be tough to sneak in there.

    Finishing 11-2 and in the top 10 after a bowl win would be a hell of a season.
