How Chip Kelly’s 2-7 UCLA squad could still make the Pac-12 Championship

The UCLA Bruins got off to an 0-5 start under new coach Chip Kelly this year, but then won their next two games.
They’ve lost their last two games, and now sit at an abysmal 2-7, but not all hope is lost for the Bruins. In fact, according to Reddit user DevilsBrew23, UCLA still has a chance to make the Pac-12 title game.
As you can see below, DevilsBrew23 lays out the four things that need to happen for the Bruins to have a chance to play for a conference title:
UCLA Wins out (Wins over @ASU, USC, Stanford) – Would give UCLA the tie-breakers over ASU/USC and they already hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over Arizona
Arizona loses one more game (@Wash St or ASU)
Utah loses both conference games remaining (Oregon and @Colorado)
Colorado loses against Wash St this week
You could even make the argument that UCLA controls its own destiny, as the most unlikely thing to happen on that list is No. 1 — the Bruins winning out.
However, based on how the Pac-12 has gone this year, we can’t rule anything out during the last three weeks of the regular season.
