Potential Playoff spot on line for No. 5 Utah in Pac-12 title game

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)-The Pac-12 championship game has primarily been an afterthought for the rest of the country the past two seasons with the conference largely out of contention when it comes to The College Football Playoff.

That will be far from the case Friday at Levi’s Stadium when there will be plenty of focus on how No. 5 Utah fares against No. 13 Oregon and whether the Utes are worthy of being one of the top four teams in the country.  The Utes have won eight straight games headed into this tilt.
