The No. 16 Arizona State Sun Devils have their sights set on a conference championship, but first they have to face off against their hated rival, the Arizona Wildcats. This year's installment of the Territorial Cup, the oldest rivalry trophy in college football, takes place down in Arizona Stadium in Tucson.
After last week's thrilling victory over BYU, Arizona State moved into a four-way tie for first place in the Big 12, though tiebreaker rules would have them as the conference's top team if the season ended today. The College Football Playoff committee reflected that in their most recent rankings, which has the Sun Devils as the highest ranked Big 12 team with one week left to go.
A win over the Wildcats, who are 4-7 after being picked to finish fifth in the conference before the year started, wouldn't necessarily clinch a berth in the conference championship game for Arizona State, but there is only one scenario in which they don't make it to Dallas with a win. It would also mark the first time in three years that the Sun Devils have won the Duel in the Desert, adding extra motivation to get the job done.
