Pac-12 clinching scenarios: Washington to face Oregon or Arizona in championship game

The Washington Huskies have clinched a berth in the 2023 Pac-12 Conference Championship Game.

Two teams have a chance to join them.

With Oregon State's loss to Washington on Saturday, the Huskies clinched the Pac-12's top seed in the title game and will be the home team in that game, which will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Friday, Dec. 1.

The Huskies are 11-0 and 8-0 in conference play after beating Oregon State 22-20 on Saturday night.

Oregon State was eliminated from contention for the title game with the loss, but the Beavers could still have a role in determining who faces Washington in that game.

Oregon, at 10-1 overall and 7-1 in the Pac-12, would lock up a spot against Washington by beating Oregon State next week. The Ducks beat Arizona State on Saturday, 49-13.

But the Beavers could play a spoiler role in the Civil War game on Friday.

Arizona would get into the Pac-12 title game if it beats Arizona State in the Territorial Cup on Saturday and if Oregon State beats Oregon on Friday.

Oregon would still get in the game if it lost to Oregon State if ASU beats Arizona.

Arizona is 8-3 overall and 6-2 in the Pac-12.

We are set to see the ending of the Pac-12 as we know it with college football conference realignment and expansion, but at least the Conference of Champions is going out with some drama and excitement.

Will it be Oregon or Arizona against Washington in the Pac-12 Championship Game?
