The only remaining BCS in college football is on Allbuffs
I don't think the Pac-12 gets the credit it deserves in general, but who are you thinking about here exactly? Do you see them shutting out the Pac-12 for 2 ACC or B1G teams? I think those are the only 2 conferences who look like they might have two contenders right now.
You're the guy to bring up 2001.
No it wont.
The rose bowl goes to the CCG champion. If that champion is selected for the playoff then it is the next rated team in the conference.

I couldn't think of anything better (aside from Rose) than showing we're back by smashing the Corn. New opponents are fun, but that place would be rocking. Give me Nebraska anyday over, say, Iowa.
I think he means that a one loss UW might get left out of the playoff.

Imagine Wazzu doing us a favor and wiggling their way into the P12CG...one can dream (they're more beatable than UW).

Nothing would be sweeter than to smoke those arseholes in a bowl game. It's actually a buff bucket list item of mine

We owe them, especially for '08. And we are the better team this year. Reigniting old rivalries is a special aspect of bowls. Beats facing an ACC team like Pitt that brings 2 fans to bowl games (Sun Bowl) or an unappealing Big XII former foe in which no rivalry exists. Oklahoma is appealing, not much else.

I don't think facing Nebraska makes it about them, but to each their own. Give me a hyped up game like that anyday. Certainly other appealing opponents as well, just hope to avoid a K-State, Pittsburgh type opponent.
If we win out the regular season, then we've hung one additional loss on both WSU and Utah, and we win the P12 South - those wins will, in all likelihood have us ranked higher than either of them.
In the north, assuming we win out, the north champion is likely going to be the winner of WSU and UW.
If the north champion is UW, and we lose the championship game, they'll go to the playoff, and I would be hard pressed to imagine the Rose taking WSU or Utah ahead of us - especially because we will have beaten them head to head within the last month (and within the last week for Utah). If we beat UW in the CCG, we'll also go to the Rose because we're not making the playoff*.
If the north champion is WSU, then we'll have to beat the pirate again to get to Pasadena - because neither they nor us are getting into the playoff*.
*unless weird **** happens elsewhere in college football, which it always could because November and college football.

Here's a good article from a WSU site that explains and gives examples for how the Pac-12 bowl teams are selected. It's from last year, but it should help answer some questions that I'm sure some people have.

Unless the B1G gets lucky, it'll be either Michigan or Ohio State in Pasadena with the other team in the playoff.
And even if Michigan or Ohio state made the playoff Wisconsin will still be the team IMO.
Why do you think that. Both of those teams best Wisco. If Michigan beats OSU, they are in playoffs and OSU is in the Rose bowl. If OSU beats Michigan, they are probably in the playoffs and we see a rematch.
I think we were talking Holiday in that scenario
I think we'd crush them.

Agreed. They've looked entirely mediocre. Their best performances were Wyoming and Northwestern before each got rolling over the last couple weeks. Their Oregon win was due to Helfrich's stupidity and ref assistance.
Not the point. I agree we would beat the pants off of them. Thing is, I'm planning on going to the game. I don't want my trip ruined by those assholes.
The Rise Bowl would be great, obviously, but would you really want to see us play Michigan again?
