Pac 12 Bowl Games

Now that it's November, the "experts" are starting to release their bowl projections. Here are the assumed destinations for the Pac 12.

Rose Bowl: Stanford vs. Michigan State
Fiesta Bowl: Utah vs. Notre Dame
Cactus Bowl: Arizona vs. Buffalo
Alamo Bowl: USC vs. Oklahoma
Holiday Bowl: Arizona State vs. Wisconsin
Foster Farms Bowl: UCLA vs. Minnesota
Pinstripe Bowl: Washington vs. Duke
Sun Bowl: California vs. Louisville
Poinsettia Bowl: Washington State vs. Boise State
Royal Purple Bowl: Oregon vs. BYU

The royal purple bowl? YES!!!!

USC still has a sliver of hope to land in a BCS Bowl. Just need to win out and have Utah trip up.

So yeah I'm looking forward to the Alamo/Vegas bowl.

Although I would like to see Utah win out and go to the Rose Bowl... this makes sense. Stanford is good.
I can get behind the Fiesta Bowl. Ole!

I do think it's going to be USC vs Stanford in the PAC 12 title game. I think Utah still has a loss or two in them, I think they've lost their mojo. I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose at WAshington this weekend.

Although USC still has to come to Eugene to face off against the 112th ranked defense in the country, so no smooth sailing for them.

Doubt it. UCLA is still a win up on USC and Utah only has one loss. UCLA could still give Utah and/or USC trouble.

Utah has been a bit wishy-washy on offense as of late but I still think they get it done. :th2thumbs:

If ucla were healthy if agree with you, but half of their team is injured. I think they lose both of those games.

USC wins out + Utah loses once = USC facing Stanford in the Pac 12 title.

What UCLA does before the USC game doesn't really matter if USC wins out.. because they'd have wins over Utah and UCLA

I'm just glad that Utah has the upper hand here. Having to play catch-up is not their strong suit. Just gotta win 4 more games. We can do it!

is the royal purple bowl the vegas bowl? Fun to see WSU listed. Need to win this weekend to gain eligibility.

Yeah the Royal Purple Bowl is the Vegas Bowl.

Kinda difficult to have those teams at those games when they dont apply. According to the list on NCAA.com, PAC 12 teams cant go to some of those games. Wierd.

The Poinsettia Bowl is going to need a replacement for Army, who won't be bowl eligible. And the Big Ten may not have enough eligible teams to meet their bowl obligations.

ESPN has updated their bowl projections.

Rose Bowl: Stanford vs. Iowa
Valero Alamo Bowl: Utah vs. Oklahoma
National University Holiday Bowl: UCLA vs. Wisconsin
Foster Farms Bowl: USC vs. Illinois
Hyundai Sun Bowl: Washington State vs. Miami
Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl: Oregon vs. BYU or Boise State
Cactus Bowl: California vs. At Large
At-large: Washington

CBS has also updated their projections.

Orange Bowl: Stanford vs. Ohio State
Rose Bowl: Utah vs. Iowa
Alamo Bowl: USC vs. Oklahoma
Holiday Bowl: UCLA vs. Wisconsin
Foster Farms Bowl: Oregon vs. Illinois
Sun Bowl: Washington State vs. Louisville
Las Vegas Bowl: California vs. BYU
Cactus Bowl: Arizona State vs. Central Michigan
Poinsettia Bowl: Washington vs. Colorado State

I'd love it if the Cougs got the Sun Bowl cuz I'm off that day and would get to watch it. Make it happen!

Very excited to see how things shake out for WSU. Two Pac-12 teams getting into big name bowls seems a bit high to me, though admittedly I don't know the rules for bowls anymore now that they've gone to the playoff system.

USC controls their Rose Bowl destiny!

Please allow me to apologize in advance for my Ducks ruining that for you. Sounds like USC had a couple of pretty important injuries the other day. A couple of your linebackers and one of the starting o'linemen. Have to admit, i wouldnt be sorry if Cameron Smith misses our game, as it sounds like he's going to.
