Bowl Projection Roundup: Where each Pac-12 team is slotted to play after Week 7

We’re getting to the portion of the season where Pac-12 schools start to beat up on each other, and not in a manner that we were expecting.

While it was fair to believe that the winner of Washington vs. Oregon, and UCLA vs. Oregon State would stand tall as two of the best teams in the conference, I’m not sure that anyone was expecting a comeback win from Stanford over Colorado, while Arizona got a blowout win over Washington State. Meanwhile, USC suffered an embarrassing 48-20 loss to Notre Dame.

We knew that this would happen at some point, but it’s interesting to see how the upset losses in the conference have had an impact on the bowl game projections throughout the league. Here’s where all teams are projected to play in the postseason after Week 7 of the season:
