What's the scenario where USC plays Oregon for the Pac-12?

[BigAppleBadger]

I'd like to see that game.

Assume it's UCLA beats ASU and then loses to USC? That gives each two losses in conference but head-to-head is circular (USC>UCLA>ASU>USC), and I don't know the tiebreakers.

 

[asu_08]

ASU loses out and USC wins out.

 

[trojanfan12]

ASU loses out and USC wins out.

Pretty much covers it.

And I'd kinda like to see that too!! Maybe the Sun Devils will cooperate?

 

[OregonDucks]

damn near impossible. ASU is not losing out. USC could very well win out though. AND it would probably be more beneficial to them. Win out, avoid that loss in the CCG. Otherwise, you make it to the CCG, lose and go to a worse bowl then had you just won out and no CCG.

 

[tech_iceman]

all of this assuming Oregon beats Oregon State

:ss:

 

[yeodonie]

Also that whole Oregon has to win out thing

 

[OregonDucks]

all of this assuming Oregon beats Oregon State

:ss:

.....lol

 

[trojanfight]

someone remind me again...this championship game goes to the home field of the division winner with best record right?

Yes and if records are a tie it goes to the higher BCS ranked team.

You already have "most ridiculous poster of the year" already won. Why are you trying to pile on? How'd you do vs. Stanford? Would you like to hear how we did?

completely irrelevant now. We are back in the natty picture.

Just for giggles... How'd you all do vs WSU? Would you like to hear how we did?

UCLA would have 3 losses in that case, leaving ASU vs USC with ASU having the head to head.

It's a bit of a longshot.

Situations are:
ASU gets the South with a win @UCLA or a UCLA loss.
UCLA has to win out.
USC needs to win out plus have Arizona beat ASU.

its not all that unlikely yeah Arizona st is playing well...I say most likely they lose at ucla in a tough game..Arizona at home its a toss up will be close....usc @ ucla could go either way. Colorado in the snow could be tougher than you would expect

wait. whose losing to Colorado??

 

[yeodonie]

ASU will clinch Saturday. They're playing better than UCLA.

 

[WABLTY]

ASU vs Arizona isn't a toss up just because they're rivals. No more than Oregon vs Oregon State is. Sure upsets happen, spoilers happen, but implying it's 50/50 that the Arizona team that just lost to at home to a Wazzu team ASU recently beat on the road by a billion is silly. It's not. It would be a large upset. Can that happen when emotions run high? Sure. But that's not a coin flip barring an injury to Taylor Kelly or something.

I'd consider it far more likely that ASU wins next week and finishes this off than Arizona winning in Tempe. ASU is actually a small favorite.

 

[OregonDucks]

Arizona is pure trash. ASU will have no trouble with them.

You haven't watched many Territorial Cup games have you? If ASU was undefeated and Arizona was winless it would probably come down to the final possession. That's just how those games turn out.

stranger things have happened. quick look at the past results shows for last 4 years its been a close game every year. cant see why it would change this year. not saying they win it but I expect it to be a td or less for winner
