Utah Went from Contender to Spoiler

For much of this season, the Utah Utes were seen as a favorite to win the Pac-12 South, especially after defeating USC 31-28 back in September. However, after the 30-28 loss to Oregon in the final seconds on Saturday, Utah was eliminated from winning the Pac-12 South for the third year in a row in the 11th game of the season. Unlike 2014 and 2015 however, Utah has the opportunity to play Pac-12 South spoiler against Colorado. If Utah defeats Colorado, the Buffaloes will not win the Pac-12 South, instead USC would become the first team since UCLA in 2011-12 to win the Pac-12 South two years in a row.
