SALT LAKE CITY—Utah will represent the South Division in the Pac-12 Championship game for the first time after today’s win over Colorado and Arizona State’s loss to Oregon. Utah (8-3, 6-3) advances after winning its first outright South Division title.
The Pac-12 Championship game will be played on Friday, Nov. 30 at 5 p.m. Pacific time (6 p.m. MT) in Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
Utah’s opponent in the Pac-12 Championship game will be the winner of the Washington-Washington State game next week. The Pac-12 champion will play against a team from the Big Ten Conference in the Rose Bowl presented by Northwest Mutual on Tuesday, Jan. 1 in Pasadena, Calif.
Utah has never played in a conference championship game. The 2015 Utes shared the South division title with USC but the Trojans owned the tiebreaker into the title game. The Western Athletic Conference held a conference championship game during Utah’s final three years in the league (1996-98), but the Utes never qualified.
Utah concludes its regular season next Saturday against BYU. Game time is 8 p.m. in Rice-Eccles Stadium. Utah’s senior class will be honored in a pregame ceremony.
