Bowl Projection Round-Up: Where each Pac-12 team is slotted to play after Week 8
There have certainly been some shake-ups in the Pac-12 bowl game picture over the past few weeks.
At first, it was the UCLA Bruins that stirred things up out west, taking down the Washington Huskies and Utah Utes in consecutive weeks. Then, after Utah upset USC a couple of weeks ago, it was the Bruins who stepped into the perceived top spot in the conference. However, Oregon’s dominant win over UCLA this past week now has the Ducks sitting pretty with an inside track to the Pac-12 championship, and a potential Rose Bowl berth or a trip to the College Football Playoff should they win out.
So how have the recent happenings in the conference shaped the bowl picture going forward? We’ve done the leg work for you and tried to gather an array of predictions from different sites. Take a look:
