No. 5 Washington has by far the best odds of any team in the Pac-12 at 15/2. The only other Pac-12 teams with odds to win the national championship are Stanford at 100/1 and Colorado at 150/1. While it is quite a long shot for Utah to win the national championship, the fact that one loss did not knock the Utes off the board shows that being in the Pac-12 is different from being in the Mountain West Conference. One loss generally does not eliminate a Power 5 conference champion from contention.
