• Matt Hinton of Uproxx projects Utah as having the 11th-best odds of getting in along with Colorado and Washington State. Calling on specific game results, he projects that Utah would need to win out, would need both Clemson (4) and Louisville to take losses, then would need Oklahoma (9) and West Virginia (14) to take losses. He’s currently expecting Washington (6) to win out.
• Not a projection, but CBS Sports has a list of important games to track for playoff purposes, starting with Wazzu’s game at Colorado this weekend. With Washington State and Colorado both as longshots, each is looking for a marquee win.
