The Pac-12’s top two teams have been given a prime time TV slot for their pivotal showdown next weekend.

No. 3 Oregon and No. 24 Utah will face off at 4:30 p.m. PT at Rice Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake next Saturday in a game that will air on ABC.

Oregon (9-1, 6-1) is leading the Pac-12 North. Utah (7-3, 6-1) leads the Pac-12 South. Both teams can clinch their respective division with a win and a bit of help elsewhere.

Depending on how things unfold, Saturday could be the first of two marquee matchups between and Oregon and Utah. There’s a very real possibility they meet in the Pac-12 title game on Dec. 3.

The two teams have not met since 2019 when Mario Cristobal’s Oregon team topped the Utes 37-15 in the Pac-12 title game.

Vegas Insider released its line for the game before Oregon had concluded Saturday’s showdown with Washington State. It currently has Utah as a 2.5-point favorite.
