3-2 Oregon Backdoors Their Way into Pac-12 Championship Game, Will Play Against USC

[BusSport]

Washington can't play because of covid, so 3-2 Oregon will be in the Pac-12 Championship Game against USC.

Must be nice to be able to play for a conference championship while only 1 game above 0.500.

On the flip side, for USC, must be nice to be able to become a conference champion by just beating a team that is only 1 game above 0.500.

So are you suggesting that the PAC XII cancels the conference championship game....and the related broadcast dollars.

Might as well make the Natty, Vanderbilt vs Kansas.

It might have been a good idea for the Pac-12 to have removed divisions for the year like the ACC did so that USC can get a better opponent in 4-1 Colorado for the conference championship game, especially with the USC-Colorado game having been cancelled by covid during the regular season.

USC is a 3 point favorite over Oregon. Vegas has USC as a 6.5 favorite over Colorado if they played. Just sayin
