Last week shifted the bowl projections again, but in keeping with what we knew going into the games.

The strongest teams have risen to the top and they’ll separate further in the final games of the regular season with a spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game still up for grabs.

Late November projections are much more solid than those in September and October, but there’s still a chance what we think will happen won’t happen come December.

Here are my latest predictions on where Conference teams will land in the postseason.

Rose Bowl – Oregon vs. Michigan

2:00 p.m., PT, ESPN, Jan. 2, 2023, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA

Oregon Ducks Logo Pac-12I think the Ducks took the power back in the conference with a gritty win over Utah.

I think they’re the most balanced team in the conference and can take out USC in the Pac-12 Championship Game, getting back to the Rose Bowl.

Cotton Bowl – USC vs. UCF

10:00 a.m., PT, ESPN, January 2, 2023, AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX

usc logoI’m not ready to say the Trojans can win the conference championship game yet.

I just don’t trust them.

I still think they make a NY6 bowl though.

Alamo Bowl – Washington vs. Texas

6:00 p.m., PT, ESPN, December 29, 2022, Alamodome, San Antonio, TX

I think everyone does.

Holiday Bowl – UCLA vs. Wake Forest

5:00 p.m., PT, FOX, December 28, 2022, Petco Park, San Diego, CA

The Bruins can clean things up against Cal and slip down into a lesser southern California bowl.

 

Las Vegas Bowl – Utah vs. Missouri

4:30 p.m., PT, ABC, December 17, 2022, Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV

Not getting the win at Oregon really plunges Utah.

They drop all the way down from the Rose Bowl to here in my projections.

Sun Bowl – Oregon State vs. Louisville

11:00 a.m., PT, CBS, December 30, 2022, Sun Bowl, El Paso, TX

The Beavers have a chance to possibly sneak up a couple of blow slots if they can beat Oregon.

This is a nice spot, though, if they can’t.

Los Angeles Bowl – Washington State vs. Boise State

12:30 p.m., PT, ABC, December 17, 2022, SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles, CA

Win or lose the Apple Cup, it feels like the Cougars might be locked into the LA Bowl.
