I don’t think this will happen but would be awesome if it did. I wouldn’t mind TCU in the Alamo Bowl as well. Couldn’t hurt our Texas recruiting if we could beat them in Texas.
Alamo bowl is the worst 2nd place bowl of every conference...AAC and MWC included. Its an embarrassment for the 2nd best top-bottom conference in america
Off topic but did anyone else notice that stupid ESPN commercial about bowl games that starts with, “I’ve seen a Bowl of Cotton that was anything but soft...”
Chintresting because Furd would be punished for making it to said CCG and losing, and Washington would be rewarded for not making it at all and leapfrog the team that beat them. Only in cfb would such logic prevail, and it just might.
As for being skulled by Georgia ... Georgia ain't bama boy. Best get that straight. I think Washington could beat Georgia. It wouldn't be that big a surprise to me.
Unless USC completely blows the doors off Stanford (which won’t happen) the I highly doubt this scenario plays out even if TCU ends up losing too.
The other thing is, with all the poor mouthing that this conference does, and some of it is in fact justified, I'm not sure Stanford gets to join in the whining. They don't get quite the pass that USC gets, but the country does give them a pass. Just as SC is the national brand for West coast 'traditional power', Stanford has developed a national brand as the West coast 'tuff' program. They are viewed as a Big 10-type 'blue collar' (I'm running out of cliches) program and they get national play because of that and because it is the single highest combo of academis and competitive D1 sports ... no school that matches them in that category. Not one.

Stanford has earned that brand. They are the premier program of the PAC 12 in its 7 years of existence. Shaw don't care if he blows an early game or 2. By November they are a physical monster of a team.
UW was able to use its speed but as the old coach said, fast players slow down, big players don't get small.
If you get out on them early and pile it on they tend to flounder. Let them stay around hitting you and you tend to lose
To get UW to move into top 10 and perhaps the Cotton Bowl - Ohio St, TCU, USC, and UCF need to lose. Stanford would jump UW but UW would move up 3 spots. Georgia, Miami, Auburn, Clemson, Oklahomo, Wisconsin losing will not affect UW – at most maybe come up one spot.
ACC and SEC playoff doesn’t impact UW but B1014 and B1210 do – root for Badgers and Homo to win.
UW moved down 9 spots after losing 1 game to a good Stanford team, and up only 4 after 2 wins against good pac12 teams. Its a sham. Dawgs best move into top 12or its no use.
Of course 3 1-2 loas SEC teams in top 6 after tonight. Auburn has no biz at #4. Georgia is going to beat them Sat if Kerryon doesnt play...thus bama back in top 4. Its comical how this system works. Back in day before Millennials and ignorant black female professors chose championship reps, he who lost most recently ALWAYS lost spots to teams who didnt. Now a team can lose miserably and not drop a spot or 2. If an 8-team playoff dont happen soon we'll just have 2011 LSU-bama matchups forever. Just with 3 SEC teams instead of the bcs 2
tOSU being "guaranteed" a spot while potentially being a 10-3 team with the worst loss of any of the top 12 is some horseshit. The Big Ten doesn't deserve a third team in the NY6 if that's the resume.
I don’t think this will happen but would be awesome if it did. I wouldn’t mind TCU in the Alamo Bowl as well. Couldn’t hurt our Texas recruiting if we could beat them in Texas.
“Holy shit! A team I couldn’t care less about just beat another team I couldn’t care less about in a bowl game I didn’t even watch. WOOF!”

I don't know. TCU has always been pretty entertaining in the Alamo Bowl
This is why you build a brand in college ball. This is why we said UW would have a long road back when they gave up football. Shit has consequences.
Just keep piling up the seasons and we are a brand again
Nonsense. Best 4 teams built off conference champions. Has zero to do with a fucking brand. Has to do with SEC being in bed with ESPN. It effects the dipshit poll voters who are swayed by espn, and faggy espn SOS metrics which are as arbitrary as SEC team rankings, falsehoods about the SEC's core conference strength etc..
usc has a better brand than any SEC team historically yet gets no respect with 2 losses. How is USC, Washington so far down with 2 losses? Auburn in playoffs with wins no more significant than USC's? Georgia is junk. Havent beaten anybody. Alabama hasnt beaten anybody. Yet beating them is seen as a movement of God's hand.
Gimmie 6-8 teams. I want it played on field. Enough of SEC. Clemson would lose to USC in a playoff. They wont get chance. I pray Wisconsin gets in. They can beat oklahoma on the ground alone. If 2 SEC teams get in you can kiss 4-team playoff goodbye. Give Pup chaos

In the past 7 years, Oregon has been in the title game twice while Stanford has never had a sniff.

Ohio State and TCU are the only two that matter. Memphis/UCF winner and Stanford/USC winner are in.

If you had the top 8 teams this year, there would be 3 SEC teams and no Pac-12 teams.

doesn’t have a single PAC-12 team highlight?
