Beat Arizona in Tucson, and ASU in SLC, and we're in. That knocks USC down to third in league play, gives us a Q1 road win and another Q2 home win. We also dodge Oregon in the quarters, and get Oregon State instead. Yes, we likely get USC again, but losing to them wouldn't be a massive issue, and would boost Troy's resume. ASU and another team (UCLA? Syracuse?) gets left out, and Utah and USC get in.
