Pac-12 Bowl Schedule Set; Where Are All The Pac-12 Teams Going???

Well, all the Pac-12 bowls are set. Unsurprisingly, Cal is not going to a bowl. However, 9 Pac-12 teams are going bowling, which shows how challenging this whole conference is this year. There are only 7 conference bowls, so some teams ended up outside the Pac-12 bowls.

What is the schedule this year?

WASHINGTON STATE!

Bowl	Location/Tickets	Date/Time	Network
Gildan New Mexico Washington State vs. Colorado State	Albuquerque, N.M. University Stadium	Dec. 21 2 p.m.	ESPN

Based on this GIF from the CougCenter thread, their fans are enthusiastic to go to the New Mexico Bowl. They haven't been to a bowl game in a decade:

USC

Royal Purple Las Vegas Fresno State vs. USC

Las Vegas Sam Boyd Stadium

Dec. 21 3:30 p.m.

ABC

Their post at Conquest Chronicles doesn't provide an opinion about the game and there are no comments, so I can't get a bead on their thought process. I presume that USC fans wouldn't be happy about being at the Las Vegas Bowl in a general sense. There is this:

If #USC plays Fresno State in Vegas Bowl, the Trojans will play FSU in back-to-back games. USC opens next season against Bulldogs #Exciting

OREGON STATE!

Sheraton Hawaii Boise State vs. Oregon State

Honolulu Aloha Stadium

Dec. 24 8 p.m.

ESPN

Oregon State is off to Hawaii. Aloha! They'll be playing on Christmas Eve at 8 PM, which is not the most opportune time. They are facing their Pacific Northwest rival, the Fighting Bob Gregorys. They seem not so optimistic about their chances:

Hawaii Bowl vs BSU not so bad says I

Not a bad bowl for them to weasel themselves into. Any word how much this was on OSUs doing or was it all ESPN as noted above ?

Oh them Beavers

I do fear that BSU will roll the beavers if they don't bring their A game

Both schools basketball teams are in the islands too

so it made a great deal of sense to "bundle" hoops with the bowl.

Go Beavs!

I still dont think they should be in a bowl

But since they are, this seems to be a matchup that makes sense.

They’ve owned us the last couple meetings. It’d be nice to get revenge.

Since they are somewhat of a rival, makes it more interesting.

I have a lot of family in Boise. Gives us an opp. to talk a little smack back and forth.

GO BEAVS!!!

WASHINGTON!

Fight Hunger BYU vs. Washington

San Francisco AT&T Park

Dec. 27 9:30 p.m.

ESPN

Washington is coming to Cal. I'm not 100% certain who the interim coach is going to be for UW. Or is Petersen going to coach their bowl game? UWDawgPound has a breaking news banner about the game, but no post or discussion regarding it. I suspect that the UW fans will be happy to have a nice vacation to the Bay Area, but not quite so happy about the bowl itself. With only 1 Pac-12 team making the BCS Bowls, it pushed all the teams down a slot or so.

Oregon

Valero Alamo Oregon vs. Texas	San Antonio Alamodome	Dec. 30 6:45 p.m.	ESPN

Yes, the Alamo Bowl. After dominating the Pac-12 and making BCS Bowl after BCS Bowl, Oregon is in the Alamo Bowl against Texas. Texas keeps facing off against Pac-12 foes, which is nice. Who to root for here?

Oregon fans are unhappy, but understanding about this bowl. This is not where they expected to be at the start of the season, but after getting blown out by Arizona, it is what it is:

Arizona State!

National University Holiday Arizona State vs. Texas Tech	San Diego Qualcomm Stadium	Dec. 30 10:15 p.m.	ESPN

So close to the Rose Bowl, instead to the Holiday Bowl. WHERE HAVE I SEEN THAT SCRIPT BEFORE???? ASU fans are intrigued by this game:

Arizona

AdvoCare V100 Arizona vs. Boston College

Shreveport, La. Independence Stadium

Dec. 31 12:30 p.m.

ESPN

I've never even heard of this bowl. It's on New Year's Eve at 12:30 PM. Not a premiere time, but Arizona will take whatever it can get.

Don't know if many Arizona fans will make their way to Louisiana, but it will be good for the program moving forward to get that little bit of extra practice thanks to playing on New Year's Eve compared to December 21st like the New Mexico Bowl or Vegas Bowl.

UCLA

Hyundai Sun Virginia Tech vs. UCLA	El Paso, Texas Sun Bowl	Dec. 31 2 p.m.	CBS

With the ACC getting 2 teams in the BCS, all the ACC teams slotted up (while the Pac-12 slotted down), so this UCLA team should be able to handle a decent, but not outstanding VT team. UCLA fans are excited for the opportunity, even though it is not at a great time:

Taking on a high profile program like Frank Beamer's Virginia Tech is a great opportunity for the Bruins. While the Hokies have been slightly down this year, they still put together a pretty good season. They always have been one of the most fundamentally sound and well-coached programs from the East Coast, and this matchup should have some cross-sectional buzz beyond the West Coast. I am sure Coach Mora and his staff will not mind the Bruins getting some buzz in the Mid-Atlantic region.

...

As Coach Mora mentioned after practice yesterday, the Bruins - especially our seniors - are hungry to get the 10th winand finish their UCLA careers on a high note. So, they didn't really care where and who they were going to play during this bowl season. Let's get that 10th win!

Stanford

Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO Stanford vs. Michigan State	Pasadena, Calif. Rose Bowl	Jan. 1 5 p.m.	ESPN

Everything is terrible.

— GoldenBlogs (@GoldenBlogs) December 8, 2013

In a surprise turn of events, Rule Of Tree doesn't have an update on this occurrence. Additionally, they don't even really have a post recapping their win over ASU. Instead, they have a post from SBNation about it, which IS WRITTEN BY NAM LE!!!!!! HE'S A SECRET DOUBLE AGENT TAKING US DOWN FROM THE INSIDE!!

So, there you go, there are all of the Pac-12 Bowls. May Cal be listed there next year.

Tell us in the comments who you think is going to win all the bowls?
