The Utes must win in Seattle to maintain a path into the Pac-12 championship game.
Almost two years to the day that Utah took control of the Pac-12, the two-time defending champs make their last stand.
The Utes are 4-2 in conference play, two games behind Washington. A head-to-head loss this weekend would create a three-game gap with two remaining and mathematically eliminate Utah from the No. 1 seed in the Pac-12 championship game. What’s more, the Utes would be a game back of Oregon State, which also has the head-to-head tiebreaker advantage.
Granted, the Utes were on the right side of an improbable tiebreaker scenario last year, snuck into the title game and blasted USC for their second consecutive trophy.Comment:
