Bowl? - Row80Critic - 12-05-2020

If Stanford beats the Beavers, are they bowl eligible at 3-2, and likely to actually get an invitation?

And, for that matter, how would tie-breaking work if Stanford, Washington and Oregon all go 3-2, which suddenly seems as likely as not if my math is right....?

With four PAC-12 Bowls cancelled, what’s left is the CFP 6, Alamo, LA, Independence, and Armed Services Bowls. Slim pickings’.

Well, this year they can’t complain about Stanford not bringing in many people.

I think this season every school that can field a team is bowl eligible. Most of the criteria are out the window.

But at least 9 bowls have bern cancelled so far.

Pac 12 keeping the .500 rule

PAC 12 likes to make life difficult for itself? With the loss of the holiday, sun, Las Vegas and likely LA bowl, the rule is likely a moot point.

Unfortunately, the tie-breakers don’t favor us for the North title. Oregon would have to win next week, which would mean they’d be 2-0 against Stanford and Washington, resulting in their winning the North. Record amongst the tied teams comes before division record, which would favor Stanford.

We were eliminated last week when UW scored with 0:30 remaining to beat Utah. Had UW just lost that game, all we’d need is for UW to beat Oregon next week and we’d otherwise control our own destiny with a win over ORST. We even would have been okay if Oregon beat Cal today in this scenario. All three 2-loss teams would be 1-1 against each other, but Oregon’s losses would be in the division, so that would throw out Oregon. And then we’d have the advantage over UW based on our head-to-head win. What might have been...
