Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) – National title implications, a possible Heisman Trophy at stake and a new $1.3 billion stadium to showcase the whole thing. The Pac-12 will have the spotlight to itself Friday night when No. 3 Oregon and No. 8 Arizona meet in the conference championship game at sparkling Levi’s Stadium. The Ducks are all but guaranteed a spot in the four-team College Football Playoff with a win, and the selection committee could have a hard time keeping Arizona out if the Wildcats upset Oregon.
