Oregon State, Washington State still in contention for Pac-12 North title
All is not settled in the Pac-12. Week 13 matchups this weekend, specifically big rivalry games, will decide the finish for the Pac-12 North title.
Three different scenarios that could play out this weekend would result in three separate outcomes.
Oregon, at 6-2 in the conference and 9-3 overall, could win the north with a win over Oregon State. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday for the high-stakes in-state rivalry game. The Ducks are coming off a shocking 38-7 routing courtesy of Utah and look vulnerable.
If Oregon State, 7-4, beats Oregon, then they earn their shot at the Pac-12 North title. However, they’ll need help from the Washington Huskies. If they can pull off an upset over Washington State, then the Beavers win it all.
The Beavers will know if they have a chance by kickoff on Saturday as Washington and Wazzu face off on Friday night at 8 p.m. ET.
If Washington State wins, they still need Oregon State to upset the Ducks. If that happens, then the head coach-less Cougars win the Pac-12 North in stunning fashion.
Pac-12 announces final kickoff times

The weekend gets off to an early start with two games on Friday night. Oregon State will face Oregon at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and Notre Dame and Stanford kickoff at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
