Pac-12 bowl projections: Oregon to the CFP, USC climbs to the Alamo and Cal sneaks in

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:00:00 GMT

Helpful reminders on the postseason selection process before we plunge into the latest Pac-12 bowl forecast:— The Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl will host the College Football Playoff semifinals, leaving the Pac-12 champion to participate in the Fiesta, Peach or Cotton bowls unless it qualifies for the CFP.— The Pac-12 is contractually tied to seven games this season: the New Year’s Six, Alamo, Las Vegas, Holiday, Sun, LA and Independence bowls. If there are more eligible teams than available spots, the conference will attempt to secure invitations to other bowls with vacancies.The final fortnight of conference play carries plenty of unknowns across the Pac-12, but this much is clear: Washington would qualify for the College Football Playoff as an undefeated conference champion.At 13-0, with wins over at least five ranked teams, the Huskies would not be shoved aside in favor of a one-loss champion from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 or SEC.But what if they stumble and the last team standing in ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:00:00 GMT

The daunting question surrounding Big Game this year is not who will win.It’s whether the Stanford and Cal athletic programs will survive in the fast-changing world of college sports.Most fans have moved on from the collapse of the Pac-12 Conference and migration of our programs to the Atlantic Coast Conference.
