Bowl Projection Round-Up: Where each Pac-12 team is slotted to play after Week 2
We knew going into this season that the top of the Pac-12 Conference would likely be as strong as it ever has been in recent memory. We didn’t quite expect the middle tier of the Pac-12 to be as good as it has been so far, though.
While there are currently eight Pac-12 teams in the Associated Press Top 25, more teams than that are projected to stick around and be bowl eligible once the year comes to a close as well. While the top teams out west are fighting for potential spots in the College Football Playoff, or a New Years’ Six Bowl, there’s a good chance that well over half of the conference ends up playing somewhere this postseason.
Here is where every Pac-12 school is projected to play their bowl games after Week 2 of the college season.
