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 (6-0)
W: Washington State, Stanford, Cal
Remaining games: Washington, Utah (South), Oregon State
Needs help:
-Washington (4-2) needs an additional loss by Oregon.
W: Stanford, Cal, Oregon State
Remaining games: Oregon, Colorado (South), Washington State
-Oregon State (3-3) needs losses by Washington (2), and additional losses by Oregon (2).
W: Stanford, Washington State
L: Washington
Remaining games: Cal, Arizona (South), Oregon
Oregon's 6 wins automatically eliminates any team with 4 or more losses.
An Oregon victory over Washington would clinch the division for them.
Oregon State would be eliminated with a loss or Oregon win.
Out of contention:
-Washington State (2-4)
-Cal (1-5)
-Stanford (1-6)
Controls destiny:
-UCLA (5-1)
W: Colorado, Utah, Arizona State
Needs help:
-Utah (5-1) needs a UCLA loss.
W: Arizona State, USC, Arizona
L: UCLA
-USC (6-1) needs a Utah loss.
W: Arizona State, Arizona
L: Utah
Right now, Utah and the USC/UCLA winner could both win out and finish the season each with one loss. In that scenario, UCLA has the tiebreaker over Utah, but Utah has the tiebreaker over USC.
Even though USC isn't in control, their 6 wins is still the current benchmark for a division winning record, and any team with 4 or more losses is out.
Out of contention:
-Arizona State (2-4)
-Arizona (1-5)
-Colorado (1-5)
