  In this scenario, oregon and usc (or ucla) go to the championship game at 8-1.
  
  QUESTION: Do we get at-large? or you think they take the loser of PCG?

  This is not true. Utah would get the second seed in that scenario. The tiebreaker only seeds teams, it does not eliminate them.
  
  Here’s an article with commentary from the conference:

      One game at a time, folks. This season has been a fun one.

      I do think it’s ridiculous that Utah would be the 2 seed after beating the other two tied teams, though. They should add a step at the top of the 3 way tie procedure that says that if one team has beaten the other two, they get the 1 seed. (not that seeding really matters for the champ game, but….)

        Seeding doesn’t matter on a neutral field. If they ever go back to playing the CCG at the top seed’s field, then I’ll worry about it. Otherwise, whatever it takes to get into the top 2.

        We just need to win each week and then see how things sort out. Starting with Arizona this weekend. We lose any more games in the next 4 weeks, and we’re pretty much hoping for a lot of upsets in other games to making a return trip to the conference championship game.

  If Utah can beat Oregon I expect we will have 3 teams with 1 loss making the space between them very small, injuries or bad games aside. Utah needs to get healthy all the way down to TT to make this season end on a high note.

  In this scenario Utah would be #1 seed and the tie breaker would be between USC and Oregon since they didn’t play each other.
  If UCLA, Oregon, and Utah are all 8-1, then the 3-way tiebreaker rules come into effect. Oregon and UCLA would likely be in the championship game and Utah could play in the Cotton Bowl vs a Tulane or Liberty.

    Nah, Utah would most likely make this scenario based on Stength of Conference Schedule. Only way we miss is if Oregon takes first but their conference schedule is weaker than UCLA and Utah because they miss USC.

  Agree on the one game at a time.
  
  But just got tickets at Autzen. Can’t wait for another game in the PNW.
