Really up in the air who we would play in the conference championship (assuming we beat Cal), but if we do we go to the Rose Bowl. The world does not end if we can get that done, ND win or no ND win. Likely opponent would be Iowa.
The mystery is who wins the South. Utah now has two losses and has a manageable remaining schedule, with games against UCLA and Colorado, but has a loss to USC. USC has two losses and they still have to play Oregon and UCLA, and they struggled against Colorado. UCLA has three losses, and still has to play Utah and USC. Hmm. A lot going on, and it will probably go to the end of the regular season.
My pick for who we would play in the conference championship game:
Utah
My guesses on who gets into the playoff (your picks?):
Ohio State
Clemson
Oklahoma
Alabama
