UW is trying to schedule BYU as a replacement which would be a great game! Alas, BYU is balking.

I think Oregon has the only real chance to get into the CFP (SC has too many lucky wins), so for the Pac-12 getting UW with BYU is rather important.
A win would raise the Pac-12's profile AND eliminate BYU. A loss would erode the Pac-12's profile, but the Pac-12 winner would have a tough case if Cincy and BYU are both undefeated too. With UW getting the win, they would then offer Oregon and the Pac-12 a high profile game for 12/12.
Seems like the Pac-12 should firm up that game with UW as host. The game would get much better ratings than a last minute match-up between UW and a weak Pac-12 South team.
