South
We are still in a 3 team race as it would seem, as UCLA and Utah both lost this week, and USC claimed the front runner spot having already beaten the Utes.
USC can claim the title by winning out at this point, and plays UCLA in the finale in 2 weeks. The Trojans have control of their own destiny.
Utah does not. The Utes need to beat UCLA, and then hope that UCLA beats USC the following week, and win out in the process to hold onto the divisional crown.
UCLA, despite having 3 conference losses and choking in every meaningful situation imaginable this season, still controls their own destiny. If UCLA wins out against Utah and USC, the Bruins win the South with 3 losses. Here's the kicker...UCLA is a better road team than home team under Jim Mora.

North
Stanford's loss to Oregon this week dropped the Cardinal from any chance of playing into the final 4 nationally, but I never thought they had half a chance at that anyway at this point. Stanford can still win the division by beating California, something the Cardinal should not have much of an issue doing next week. If Stanford should lose, and Oregon wins out, the Ducks would once again claim the North.
Washington State, having already lost to Stanford, would not benefit in any scenario that remains.

Bowl Eligible: Utah, USC, UCLA, Arizona, Stanford, Oregon, Washington State, California
Ineligible For Bowl: Colorado, Oregon State
