Bowl Projection Roundup: Where each Pac-12 team is slotted to play after Week 6
For the past several weeks, we’ve looked at the bowl game projections for each team in the Pac-12 and watched as they’ve slightly changed based on the previous weeks’ results.
For the most part, there haven’t been very many games of magnitude in the conference thus far; ones that cause the landscape at the top of the conference go shift.
That changes this week, and going forward until the end of the season. We get Oregon vs. Washington, and USC vs. Notre Dame on Saturday, two games that could complete change the outlook of a season for the teams involved. Watching how the bowl game projections change after each week going forward will be interesting.
For now, let’s take a look at where each Pac-12 team is currently slated to play in the post season after Week 6 of the season:
