The mothership has released its bowl projections for the upcoming season, and of note for the Pac-12: Oregon, not USC, is winning the conference and heading to the national championship game for a rematch against LSU, which handed the Ducks a 40-27 defeat in the Cowboys Classic last September in Arlington, Texas. The site for the title game is Sun Life Stadium in suburban Miami.
If you're wondering where the Pac-12 school fall, here's a quick guide. A remarkable nine schools from the conference are projected to land in one bowl game or another. Would be a pretty impressive feat. Here's the list, now. Feel free to sound off.
