The Utah Utes return to the Pac-12 Championship Game for the second straight year when they face the Oregon Ducks tonight at 5 pm PT.
These teams have been on a collision course for weeks as they both rose in the rankings.
Sure, the Ducks took a step back when they lost to Arizona State, but tonight’s game is still a Top 15 matchup and a win by the Utes combined with a loss by #4 Georgia tomorrow to #2 LSU should ensure that the Utes head to the College Football Playoff for the first time.
Of course, if Utah loses the Pac-12 will probably miss out on the College Football Playoff again and it will open up Oklahoma’s chances to make it into the CFP.
But, the Pac-12 Championship Game is the only game being played tonight. So, the only real question today is: Can the Utes take care of business?
This is your Pac-12 Championship Game open thread.
