That was quite an end to the regular season in the Pac-12, wasn’t it?
After the Oregon Ducks fumbled the bag early in the day against Oregon State by blowing a 21-point second-half lead and failed to capture their place in the Pac-12 Championship Game, it left the entire conference to watch the Apple Cup in Pac-12 After Dark, which would decide which team would go to Las Vegas to secure a matchup with the USC Trojans.
The Apple Cup didn’t disappoint, with Washington winning a 51-33 shootout over Washington State that got ugly late. With the win, the Huskies ended Oregon’s conference title hopes just weeks after ending their rival’s College Football Playoff hopes. Seems, fitting, no?
So now, while the Utes and Trojans get ready for an epic rematch in Las Vegas, the rest of the Pac-12 is left waiting to see which bowl game they will end up going to in December. Will USC make it to the CFP? Can Washington sneak into a New Year’s Six bowl? How bleak is the outlook for the Ducks now after their loss to the Beavers?
We’ve got a roundup of predictions for you right here.
