#1 College Football Playoff or Rose Bowl
#2 The Alamo Bowl versus Big 12 #2
#3 The Holiday Bowl versus Big Ten
#4 The Foster Farms Bowl versus Big Ten
#5 The Sun Bowl versus ACC #3-6
#6 The Las Vegas Bowl versus Mountain West #1 or BYU
#7 The Cactus Bowl versus Big 12 #6
Probably worth a reminder that IF UW makes the four team playoff, then the Rose will choose another Pac 12 team and everybody moves up a slot.
My guess is we finish behind UW and WSU - both of whom currently have zero losses in Pac 12 play (though I agree that it wouldn't shock me if WSU loses three).
Colorado is currently next with one loss in conference play. They still have to play vs. UCLA, @UA, vs WSU, vs Utah. That's three home games which helps them, but I certainly could see them losing the last two.
Utah and U$C currently have two losses.
Utah plays @ASU, vs UO, @Colorado. They'll probably be favoured in two of three.
U$C plays vs UO, @UW, @UCLA. They'll be favoured in two of three.
Mathematically, it could work out that none of those teams end up with more than two conference losses, but that is obviously a very long shot.
My guess would be that three losses will mean a tie for either third or fourth among some number of teams.
