If you’ve been waiting all these years to watch a nationally relevant PAC-12 Championship Game, tonight’s your night.
Utah and Oregon will kick off at 8:00 pm eastern on ABC in a game with real, honest-to-goodness College Football Playoff implications.
Maybe.
The Utes currently sit at #5 in the College Football Playoff rankings, one slot behind Georgia and just out of the running. If they win tonight and Georgia loses tomorrow, there’s a good shot the Utes are in. If Clemson somehow loses to Virginia, the Utes might be in. Those scenarios are mediated by the fact that Oklahoma (#6) and Baylor (#7) could jump Utah with a bravura display in tomorrow’s Big XII title game.
