Borrowed from utefans:
at least there is a chance infintesimal as that may be.
Utes opened as 2 point favorites.
Utah has to win remaining 5 games to go 5-4 in conference.
USC has to lose all 4 conference games remaining to go 4-5 in conference (at Arizona, Oregon, ASU, at UCLA) to be 4-5.
ASU has to beat USC, then lose all other games (UCLA, at OSU, WSU, at Arizona) to be 4-5.
UCLA has to beat USC and ASU and lose all other games (Arizona, at WSU, Stanford) to be 4-5.
Arizona has to beat USC, UCLA, and ASU and lose to Utah and lose (or win) vs Colorado to be 4-5 (or 5-4) [Utah beating Arizona would give Utah head-to-head tiebreaker if same record]
Colorado just needs to have at most a 4-5 record (or 5-4, if they beat Arizona so Utah would have tie breaker over Colorado). They play at Oregon, Stanford, and Washington for other games with 1-3 current record (1-4 with Utah loss).
Most everything is possible, although WSU beating ASU and UCLA seem a long shot right now.
Our hope can still be alive by gametime if UCLA beats ASU and Arizona beats USC Saturday afternoon.
