After three months of college football, the Pac-12 conference now shifts their focus to the prize at the end of the year, bowl season. The conference has 6 teams playing an extra game this year with one of those teams in the College Football Playoffs.
While everything fell into place for Washington, Colorado fell just shy of making the New Years 6 while USC snuck their way into the Rose Bowl with the Colorado loss in the conference championship.
If you have been curious as to which bowl games the Pac-12 conference will be playing in, then you have come to the right place.
