What if the Pac-12 had divisions? Week 11 wrap up.

Continuing our look at the alternate reality where the Pac-12 has divisions and seeing if that race is any clearer than what we've got going on in the real world.

Pac-12 North
Controls destiny:
-Oregon (6-1)
   W:  Washington State, Stanford, Cal
   L:  Washington
   Remaining games:  Utah (South), Oregon State

Needs help:
-Washington (5-2) needs a loss by Oregon.
   W:  Stanford, Cal, Oregon State, Oregon
   Remaining games:  Colorado (South), Washington State
-Oregon State (4-3) needs losses by Washington (2), and an additional loss by Oregon.
   W:  Stanford, Washington State, Cal
   L:  Washington
   Remaining games:  Arizona (South), Oregon

Oregon could clinch with a win and a Washington loss.
Oregon State would be eliminated with a loss or Oregon win.

Washington would win a potential 3-way tie at 4-3 because they have head-to-head over both Oregon schools.

Out of contention:
-Washington State (3-4)
-Cal (1-6)
-Stanford (1-7)

Pac-12 South

   W:  Arizona State, Arizona, Colorado
   L:  Utah
-UCLA (5-2) needs a Utah loss.
   W: Colorado, Utah, Arizona State
   L:  Arizona

USC could clinch the division with a win and Utah loss.
UCLA will be eliminated with a loss.

UCLA would win a potential 3-way tie at 7-2 because they have head-to-head tiebreakers over Utah and USC.

Out of contention:
-Arizona State (2-5)
