I'd love to see us in the Holiday Bowl, but important to remember that thanks to Larry Scott, bowls can pick a team with the same record or one more conference loss than the "best team available."

UW 7-2
WSU 7-2
Utah 6-3
Stanford 6-3
Oregon 5-4
ASU 5-4
Cal 4-5

Alamo could pick Utah, Stanford, Oregon, or ASU. Same story for Holiday and Red Box.

Bowls are first and foremost about money, which means that Stanford could slip all the way to the Sun Bowl.

What Bowl Committee wouldn't want the "high flying" Stanford offense in their game?  I don't know if y'all realize it, but KJ Costello is one of the top QBs in the country, and Stanford is averaging more points (40) than Oregon (37), leading the Pac-12 in scoring over its last three games.
