We're now 6-3 in the Pac-12, 8-3 overall.  For grins, let's assume we finish either third or fourth in the Pac-12.  What are our likeliest bowl alternatives?  Odds of each?

First off, even with Utah losing, it is unlikely Stanford can finish above 5th (but go UCLA).
It would have helped if WSU had beaten Colorado, but now we'll have more losses than both those teams for sure.

There's still a good chance that the Pac gets 2 teams in the CFP-determined bowls. So, my initial guess is that fifth in the conference would end up in bowl #4. However, since we were just in the Foster Farms Bowl, one would think there might be some kind of horse-trading deal that would have us end up in the Holiday or the Sun.
