The Utes are the last team standing for the Pac-12 as a contender for the College Football Playoff. After Oregon’s loss at Arizona State this past week, the Utes ascended into the Ducks former spot to No. 6. The Utes now find themselves within striking distance of a spot in that bracket. Of course, many things still have to happen for the Utes to get there, namely take care of their own business, but there is a path. Oregon, who is now No. 14, and their loss does hurt the Utes and their potential resume, but I don’t think it’s crippling.
