It's been awhile, but in a single bowl season, 1985, UW beat Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, USC beat Ohio State in the Rose Bowl and UCLA beat Miami in the Fiesta Bowl. That's pretty damned solid.
One could argue 2000. One could do that. Norte Dame still feeling the Beavs

2000 was solid but not quite 1985. In 1985 the PAC was today's SEC.

I think solid is a bit of an understatement. The only thing that drags it down a bit is that the Big 10 was so shitty, resulting in UW vs Purdue in the bowl game. Oregon and OSU both got way better bowl opponents, and handled them rather easily. Add the win over Miami and that's already a good resume for the conference that year.
People forget that the Stanford game was pretty big that year. People forget that. People also forget finally getting the Oregon monkey off the back (even if it was short lived).
People forget we lost to USC at home and breathed a sigh of relief when they didn't make the P12CG.
