Utah State and Boise State Share Pac-12 Crown as Championship Seeding Locks
No. 22 Utah State and Boise State finished the regular season locked together at the top of the conference table, sharing the Pac-12 regular season title after matching victories on Thursday night, pac-12.com reported. Both squads wrapped up identical 6-1-1 conference records, earning 19 points apiece to separate themselves from the rest of the league. Yet the tiebreaker belonged entirely to the Aggies, courtesy of a gritty 1-0 victory over the Broncos back on October 11 in Boise.
