Yep. This is really happening. We're in the MF'n championship game! No more grid. All options are on the table.
As @TSchekler pointed out in the Week 12 thread, it looks like the home team tiebreaker will come down to the rankings in an obscure analytics poll from SportSource Analytics.
It's a pretty safe bet that it'll have a one loss Washington team ahead of us, so we will likely be the road team. Does that automatically mean that we have to wear a road uniform? Probably, but not definitely. We only have to go back to the USC vs. UCLA matchup this season to see an example of a game where both teams wore home uniforms.
As long as both teams agree on combinations that make easy it for players and refs to distinguish who's who in their peripheral vision, I say let them wear whatever they want in a conference championship game. We probably are looking at a white jersey combo, though. There is an outside shot we could choose a silver jersey combo. I'll guess traditional G-W-B. I think B-S-B would also be pretty cool.

Looking at the tie breakers for home team, and it's going to come down to the highest ranking in some analytics poll. CU is tied with washington in every other tie breaking criteria.
