Washington-Oregon canceled due to Huskies' COVID-19 outbreak

The Washington and Oregon matchup, which would have decided the Pac-12 North division, has been canceled, the conference announced Thursday.

The Huskies paused team activities Wednesday due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the program and would not have had the minimum 53 scholarship players available.

Washington's chances of playing in the Pac-12 championship game are in serious doubt as a result.

Currently, the Huskies have the best record in the division at 3-1, followed by the 3-2 Ducks. The winner of their head-to-head contest would have represented the North for the conference title.

Oregon could replace Washington in the title game, according to James Crepea of the Oregonian.
