Great information – this is why I love this board. Given the “team within one loss of the team(s) with the highest record” rule, under the scenario described (Utah winning out but losing to Oregon in the CCG) would Utah have two conference losses (USC and Oregon in the CCG) or would the CCG not count in the “team within one loss” rule? In other words, is the leage W/L record based on the regular season only or does it include the result of the CCG?
Of course, Go UTES!!! Win out and make this line of reasoning irrelevant.
