Biggest problem with the UCLA win is now UW is eliminated

[rbmw263]

Thats going to be a sweaty one if we come down to 1030 ET tomorrow night needing a UW win, hopefully they realize that if they win, and we lose to USC in the title game, the Rose Bowl might take them. Id argue they probably do.

[SalUteopia]

Exactly, Rose Bowl very much in picture for UW. That should be enough motivation. And then there’s that trivial matter of beating a heated rival. 

[tanute3]

I think they likely take Oregon over Washington in that scenario, but certainly not a sure thing either way

[Utesbyfive]

Not necessarily if, as we hope, OSU beats Oregon.

[ALUF]

I think they’ll be plenty motivated for the apple cup

[UofU Fanatic]

Exactly what I was going to say ALUF. It is a rivalry game and these players want to win. 

[rbmw263]

Deep down I know that, im just being paranoid. Hell, Colorado is 141st in Sagarin and im worried about all of the things we need happening and then us losing to Colorado.

[UtesRule]

This litterally makes NO sense, because UCLA HAD to win for Utah to have a chance to get to the Pac12 title game.  

[rbmw263]

I agree its obviously a good thing. Im just being an unreasonable fan

[rbmw263]

how does this comment have 2 downvotes. lol. You guys are weird

[fosternano]

So the current scenario is if Oregon state beats the ducks then Utah is in the title game and Washington is out regardless, correct?

[ALUF]

We need Utah, Oregon state and Washington all to win

[UtesRule]

There are 4 outcomes that MUST happen for Utah to be in the Pac12 title game: 

1. Utah must beat Colorado

2. UCLA must beat Cal – DONE

3. Oregon Stage must beat Nike U

4. Washington must beat Wazzu

 

All 4 of those things have to happen in order for Utah to make it to the Pac12 title game.  Not a combination of 2 or 3 of them.  All 4.  This was a good thing that UCLA won tonight, otherwise, we’d be playing for the Vegas Bowl or the Holiday Bowl.

22% chance we make the Championship Game according to ESPN Matchup Predictor

[UtesRule]

Better than the Zero we all thought it was last week after the loss to UofNike.

[RedUte14]

Not true, if we lose to Colorado they have a chance.
