That helps the Sagarin rating for our beloved rodents.
Fun game.
And definitely makes Fresno look better although I think USC probably has improved a bit.
There's almost no chance a PAC team gets CFP invite.
It almost certainly requires perfection, as it does from the ACC (which has an almost guaranteed path to that for Clemson).
Right now at least, Cal, Washington State, and Arizona State are perfect.
This is obviously biased to past results, and is completely naive of why people were predicting great things for them this year, but: I never believed Utah was going to do anything amazing this year. Didn't seem real.
This is why playing 9 conference games is insane.
If Cal upsets Ole Miss today, they might have a chance. But it is unlikely they get through Utah, USC, and ASU without a loss. If they were in the SEC, they would not be playing one of those three games.
All P5 conferences should be required to play 9 conference games.

By who though? The CFP committee clearly offers no preference for the additional conference game. CFP appearances per team (by conference):
8 conference games:
SEC 6 = .428
ACC 5 = .357
9 Conference games:
B1G Ten = .214
PAC 12 = .166

What about the Big XII (9 conf games)?
