Oregon State’s dramatic rally, combined with Washington’s win, sends Utah into the championship game.
1. A fitting conclusionWashington outlasted WSU for a 51-33 victory in the highest-scoring Apple Cup in history, a result that knocked Oregon out of the Pac-12 race, sent Utah to Las Vegas and positioned the Huskies for the Rose Bowl.
With only championship week remaining, the conference is on the brink of its first College Football Playoff berth since 2016. Kyle Whittingham and Co. went four-for-four and now have a chance to defend their Pac-12 title, return to the Rose Bowl and knock their opponent in Las Vegas, USC, out of the playoff race.
— LSU lost for the third time, eliminating the Tigers from the CFP race even if they beat Georgia in the SEC championship.— Ohio State lost for the first time — to Michigan, decisively — and won’t claim a Big Ten division title. The Huskies would have a better record than Utah and would be coming off a win, whereas the Utes would be fresh off a loss in Las Vegas.
The Beavers trailed 31-10 late in the third quarter, then scored 28 of the last 31 points in a finish we still don’t fully comprehend.The Beavers kept their poise and executed brilliantly over the final 18 minutes, while the Ducks crumbled in every regard.
