NORTH DIVISION
SOUTH DIVISION
- Rose Bowl vs Big Ten #1
- Alamo Bowl vs Big 12 #2
- Las Vegas Bowl vs Big Ten #4
- Holiday Bowl vs ACC
- Sun Bowl vs ACC
- Los Angeles Bowl vs Mountain West #1
Here's how the process will work:1. Rose Bowl
Who could it be? Oregon or Utah (Pac-12 champ, not in the CFP). The winner will be in this game.
2. Alamo Bowl
Who could it be? If Oregon wins the conference championship, Utah will be the pick by virtue of being two games ahead of everyone else in the standings. If Utah beats Oregon, then the Alamo actually has its choice of Oregon, ASU, UCLA and WSU, since they’re all within a game of each other in the standings. It would be shocking if Oregon wasn’t the pick, given that the Ducks almost certainly will be the only ranked team in that bunch.
3. Las Vegas Bowl
Who could it be? Arizona State, UCLA, WSU, and Oregon State all figure into the mix here. This is essentially a new bowl; who or what they will be looking for is anyone’s guess. ASU and UCLA both have better overall records than WSU, and both are in driving proximity to Las Vegas. I’d guess one of them will be the selection.
4. Holiday Bowl
Who could it be? Again, ASU, UCLA, WSU, and OSU all figure into the mix here, and the committee will have its choice of the three remaining teams. It stands to reason that it’s probably going to be either ASU/UCLA or WSU and not OSU. Does the Holiday Bowl have fond memories of WSU’s appearances under Leach, such that it would pick the Cougs with a worse overall record?
5. Sun Bowl
Who could it be? Again, ASU, UCLA, and WSU all figure into the mix here, but not OSU. Presuming two of ASU/UCLA/WSU get picked for the Las Vegas and Holiday, the remaining team is off to El Paso by virtue of being the highest remaining team left in the standings. This is the most likely scenario. However, if Oregon State gets picked for either the Las Vegas or Holiday, then the Sun Bowl would have its choice of the two remaining of ASU/UCLA/WSU since they’re tied.
6. Los Angeles Bowl
Who could it be? If Oregon State doesn’t get picked for the Las Vegas or Holiday, it will be the Beavers. If OSU does get picked for one of those, it would be the last of ASU/UCLA/WSU not picked.
The Pac-12 has six bowl-eligible teams (ASU, Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA, Utah and Washington State), meaning it won’t fill the seventh slot in its lineup: the ESPN at-large bowl. It’s the lowest total since the 2016 season, when there also were six eligible teams.
