A reminder about the pecking order and the selection rules.
#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
The Alamo, Holiday and Foster Farms bowls have flexibility: They can pass one team in favor of another as long as there is no more than a one-game difference in conference record.
The Sun, Las Vegas and Cactus bowls must select from the remaining pool of teams in order of league record.
CrazedZooChimp, your scenario would be infeasible since the Holiday Bowl could not pass WSU (7-2) for Utah (5-4), assuming that UW and CU win their rivalry games.
