There's a three-way tie for third place in the Pac-12 standings this week with two of those teams facing off in a head-to-head matchup as No. 13 Utah welcomes No. 8 Oregon, both at one loss hoping to avoid a second defeat in conference play.
Utah comes in off a statement win on the road against USC, all but destroying the Trojans' playoff chances, as the Utes did a year ago, and boast a scoring defense that ranks among the top 15 nationally. Oregon responded to its first loss of the season, against rival Washington, by defeating Washington State a week ago, posting over 550 total yards per game on average, ranking No. 16 nationally in scoring defense, and is 2nd in scoring offense this year.Moneyline: Ducks -220 | Utes +180That includes College Football Power Index, a computer predictive tool that uses data points from both teams to simulate games 20,000 times and pick winners.
The index revealed that Oregon won out in 68.6 percent of its simulations, while Utah won in the remaining 31.4 percent of sims. Taking its projected scoring margins for each team into account, the computer predicts that Oregon will defeat Utah by 9.3 points in the game.
