Bowl Projection Round-Up: Where each Pac-12 team is slotted to play after Week 7
Last weekend was a big one in the Pac-12 Conference, with arguably the best team in the West, USC, falling down the power rankings after a loss to the Utah Utes. We also had California take a loss to the Colorado Buffs, who earned their first win, as well as Stanford going on the road to beat a disappointing Notre Dame team. The Oregon State Beavers, meanwhile, played the role of cannibals with a win over Washington State.
It certainly provided a bit of a shake-up in the bowl game projections for the conference, and we will assuredly see another one this weekend with No. 9 Oregon hosting No. 10 UCLA, both of whom were on byes last weekend.
Whether you’re at the top of the Pac-12 conference and getting some buzz when it comes to the College Football Playoff, or you’re a middling team who is going to be fighting hard to get to six wins and become bowl eligible, we’ve got you covered. If you want to see where the other teams are predicted to land, we’ve done the leg work for you and tried to gather an array of predictions from different sites. Take a look:
