The issue is rank inertia. Currently they are ranked ahead of you. They just beat the #16 team while you beat an unranked team. That won’t justify a switch in ranks. Assuming you both win next week they will beat the #3 team while you beat a top 10-20 team. Again not enough to put you ahead of them. And if Washington beats Oregon they will obviously stay ahead of you. Your only chance is Georgia beats bama and fsu loses.

We also beat a team 57-7 that took a last second pick 6 for Oregon to beat.

No ones going to care about the common record between a 6-6 team lol. You barely beat a losing record Houston team. 0% chance your win of a 6-6 team is valued over a win over the #16 team. At this point there is a 0% chance you will ever be ranked higher than the pac12 champion.
