With a win tomorrow, the Cardinal could get a Final Four berth.
But with a loss, who goes to the Rose Bowl? Per various comments on various threads, the Rose Bowl committee can basically pick, within ranking parameters, any PAC12 team it wants. Champ U$C, which can't make the Final Four? Better-record-than U$C Stanford? Better-record-than U$C Oregon?
Talk among yourselves...
I'm confused by your question. If Stanford loses tomorrow it is U$C, they would be the Pac-12 champ. There is no deciding. The only situation where the Rose Bowl gets a choice is if the Pac-12 champ is in the playoffs (and the Rose Bowl isn't a playoff site).

100% correct. Winner tomorrow either goes to a playoff game or the Rose Bowl. If the winner goes to a playoff game Rose Bowl has leeway and has said they would select the next highest ranking Pac12 team. Same deal with the Big 10.
