Heading into the final weekend of regular-season play, ASU is tied with Colorado, BYU, and Iowa State, each holding a 6-2 conference record.
The path to the championship at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on December 7 is clear for the Sun Devils. They must hope for certain outcomes in the remaining games: a win for Cincinnati over TCU coupled with a loss for BYU, which would keep ASU out of the championship.
