Remove the word "much" and I would agree with you...
The comparative results against Washington will have more to do with why USC will be ahead of us than our head to head matchup IMO, though losing to them doesn't help either.
A "much better" team blows us out, especially when we have our backup in. USC did not. I don't really care what they did in other games. We won the division, won more games overall and beat 2 teams they beat. It's their fault if their coach chose to keep their best QB on the bench. USC isn't a much better team than us when you're looking at the whole season.
They were probably playing much better than us at the end of the season, but that doesn't make them a much better team. The season started in September. Not when Helton came to his senses and started the best QB he had.
San Antonio is in the middle of one of our major recruiting bases. This will also give our incoming Texas recruits to, maybe, be around the team and our current Texas guys to have family attend. So there.

^^ this... we would get a great opportunity to continue to exploit our recruiting advantage over the other PAC 12 teams with a bowl game in Texas. We already get that exposure in SoCal.
The Bowl Selection Show is on ESPNU at 2pm MT ... unless the Marquette-Georgia MBB game runs late.

Yeah I still don't know how you guys can just say "USC deserves it."
They looked like dog **** for 3 games. Colorado has a better conference record, better record against common opponents, beat ASU when ranked, beat WSU when ranked. Beat ranked Utah and (now ranked) Stanford. Strength of schedule and strength of record are almost a wash they're a couple of places apart. Offense and defense stats are good for both teams. USC lost to Utah, Stanford and Alabama. Colorado lost to Washington, Michigan and USC with a backup in EVERY SINGLE GAME. They've shown time and again they are favorable towards injuries if your team still looks good, washington clearly we didn't. So colorado was 4-3 (2 to top 5 teams) and USC 2-3 against the top 25. We finished the season ranked ahead of them and shouldn't be penalized for being more successful than them. I just don't know what you guys see that would make you content with them picking USC. They ended the season playing good football but outside of Washington they looked like ass all year. They were playing nobodies by that point, they lost to almost everyone good they've played. They beat our backup QB BARELY, AT HOME!

But it wasn't. What happened happened. The result is what matters and the result was that SC needed a comeback in the 4th quarter at home to beat a Colorado team without it's starting QB.
USC doesn't deserve the Rose Bowl more than Colorado. The Rose Bowl takes the PAC 12 conference champion. Because UW goes to the playoffs, the team with the second best conference record should go.

Maybe I'm biased, we'll probably extremely biased. My neighbors woke me up at 2AM on Thursday and I couldn't fall asleep again. I slept maybe 2 hours that night and came
Home Friday and wanted to nap and couldn't. I fell asleep at halftime, I was out cold. I never saw that second half, haven't seen lowlights, replays or read the box score. But it can't be worse than how USC looked against Alabama and if you can ignore that game, you can ignore this one. Either way, from what I know it was evident sefo shouldn't have gone back in.

You will find some that agree with you, but this is completely false.
When they happen is a factor. Why do you think the sec schedules Chattanooga in week 11 and not another game against a conference foe?
You can't ignore any result. But I've seen lots of people arguing that our first 2 loses came when Sefo didn't play or finish the game - that's a much shallower argument today after the Washington loss.

I agree. But do you think if roles were reversed (and we beat them) and USC was 10-2 and playing in the championship game and lost how we did that anyone would be debating their position? There wouldn't be a SINGLE person on earth who would be debating on if colorado was more deserving.

This. Get rid of the damn Championship games if it works like this. We were ahead of USC in the standings, won the South, and now we're going to be penalized by winning our division? BS.
If I was Ped St., I'd be livid as hell if they win the conference and then see a team that sat at home on Championship Saurday go to the playoffs ahead of them. 8 teams minimum or it's a popularity contest.
If someone told us Alamo Bowl at the beginning of the season we would all take it in a second. What stings is coming so close to the Rose bowl (or more) and losing it. It's nice to have expectations again.
Mebbe. If we had their roster. (no offense to any buffs out there, i love you)
Especially when you see that Cal has been waiting since the 50s and Arizona has never been there. Need to seize the opportunity when it's there.

It didn't matter when CU beat Nebraska and was ranked behind them...we were pissed about it than, can't accept it now.
All I know is you can't play like that in a championship game. Play better and I think nowadays you will get respect. I think the west is more laid back and a lot of southern and east coast blowhards run the narrative. How you change that I have no control over.

FWIW USC stuff on Twitter acting as if they have been told they are in.
