Winners:
Rose Bowl gets a nice match-up of Stanford and Iowa, making it the best non-semi finals game (although I would think they would have rather had Stanford - Ohio State.
Fiesta Bowl gets Notre Dame and Ohio State. Talk about a game where tickets will be at a premium.
Alamo Bowl gets Oregon and TCU. That should be exciting and high scoring, though I'm sure both teams are a bit disappointed to not have been their conference's champions. This is arguably the best non-New Year's six bowl.
Las Vegas Bowl:Â The holy war and a battle of in-state rivals... for a bowl fairly low on the Pac-12 totem pole, they got lucky.
Sun bowl: They must be ecstatic to get WSU, and though Miami's situation is awkward, it's still a good match-up
Losers:
Holiday bowl: Sure they will get lots of people driving from LA, but USC/Wisconsin looks like a battle of disappointments.
Foster Farms Bowl: 5-7 Nebraska... 'nuff said. Plus take UCLA who again Mora'd it and for a bowl that was fourth in the Pac-12 pecking order, this has gotta suck.
Armed Services Bowl: Never good when one of the teams has a coach who has mentally checked out.
Don't matter because no one will be watching:
New Mexico bowl (although I'm sure they will be happy to have an in-state team and a rival from the next state over)
Heart of Dallas Bowl
Cactus Bowl
BC
