What do the Pac-12 football power rankings look like for Week 14?

The Pac-12 has a prime opportunity to have a participant in the College Football Playoff for the second time in the CFP era. The last Pac-12 team to make the Playoff was Washington in 2016-17. A lot is being made of where Ohio State and Alabama are positioned in the rankings. However, all the Trojans need to do is win.

That means USC has to get past Utah. The Utes are in the title game because Oregon lost to Oregon State and Washington beat Washington State. Utah has to do something that is extraordinarily difficult to do, beat a team twice. Utah quarterback Cam Rising’s health is a question, and they will be without tight end Brant Kuithe because of injury.

So, Fight On! and Go! Utes. It’s on in Vegas. Here are the Pac-12 football power rankings heading into Week 14.
