Game Week: What You Need to Know for Friday’s Pac-12 Championship Game
12/1/2021 4:08 PM | Football
No. 14/17 Utes seek first Pac-12 Championship in showdown with No. 10 Oregon
SALT LAKE CITY – All eyes will be on Las Vegas on Friday evening when the Utah Utes face defending Pac-12 champion Oregon in the 2021 Pac-12 Football Championship Game. The North Division champion Ducks (10-2; 7-2 Pac-12) are ranked 10th this week in both the Associated Press and College Football Playoff polls, while the South Division champion Utes (9-3; 8-1) are ranked 14th in the AP poll and 17th by the CFP committee.
The title game will take place in Las Vegas for the first time, and is scheduled for 5 p.m. PT at Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders. Watch on ABC and listen on the Home of the Utes, KALL ESPN 700. Utah has won five consecutive games and eight of its last nine, including a 38-7 victory over then-No. 3 Oregon in Salt Lake City on Nov. 20. For more on the matchup read Utah's game notes here.
In 11 seasons as members of the Pac-12—all under 17th-year head coach Kyle Whittingham—Utah has won the South Division outright three times (2018, '19, '21) and shared the title once (2015). Utah is the designated home team based on conference record, as it makes its third trip to the Pac-12 Championship Game in the past four seasons, with its only non-appearance in that span coming in the COVID-condensed 2020 season. Oregon is 4-0 in Pac-12 Championship games (2011, '14, '19 and '20).
Tickets are still available through Utah Ticket Office through mid-day Thursday (Dec. 2). To purchase tickets from the Utah allotment, click here. After mid-day Thursday fans may still purchase tickets through the Pac-12. Information on tickets and hotels through the Pac-12 can be found here.
The Pac-12 Football Championship Game will follow local health authority protocols in Las Vegas. Currently, all fans must wear masks at public indoor venues, which includes Allegiant Stadium.
