Don't care about the new PAC-12 Championship logo; only care about the location of the title game

Fans voted over the Memorial Day weekend on the new PAC-12 Championship logo.  The winning selection, number 2, reportedly won over selection 3 by just 1.88 per cent, making it the most hotly-contested fan balloting since Rueben and Clay.

Don't care about any of that.  It's an okay logo, but what Duck fans really want to know is that the game will be held on Friday night December 2nd  (just one day shy of three months after the Ducks' season opener), televised on Fox (channel 12 in Portland).

Home field advantage belongs to the team with the best record in conference play.  The opponent will be the winner of the new South division, and USC is not eligible, making Utah and Arizona State the early favorites.

The fact that it is a Friday night game makes home field advantage even more critical.  This is a break in the game-week routine, and the familiarity of playing at home before your own fans becomes an even larger advantage.  The elements will be a factor also.  Oregon can have some pretty nasty weather conditions by December 2nd.
