The University of Utah is back in the Pac-12 championship game.
After winning Saturday (and getting some help from Oregon State and Washington), the No. 12 Utes will face off against the No. 4 USC Trojans.
Utah is the reigning Pac-12 champion and will be appearing in the title game for the fourth time in the past five seasons.
Cam Rising and the Utes (9-3, 7-2 Pac-12) beat Heisman hopeful Caleb Williams and the Trojans (11-1, 8-1) earlier this season in Salt Lake City in the first meeting between the two teams.

How much is a flight to Vegas from Salt Lake City?
Flights arriving to Vegas on Thursday and leaving Saturday start around $230 roundtrip and increase from there depending on the airline.
What if I want to drive?
The drive from SLC to Vegas is generally about six hours. For those trying to avoid Friday traffic heading into Vegas, a drive Thursday might make the most sense.
There’s a slight chance of rain and snow Thursday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and a slight chance of rain after that, per the National Weather Service. It will be partly sunny in St. George during the day and mostly cloudy at night. In Las Vegas, the forecast is partly sunny during the day and mostly cloudy at night.
All that seems to suggest a mostly pleasant driving experience to Vegas.
