My Prediction:

Pac12 #1 Rose Bowl - Oregon

Pac12 #2 Alamo Bowl - Stanford

Pac12 #3 Holiday Bowl - UCLA

Pac12 #4 - Sun Bowl - Arizona St

Pac12 #5 -Vegas Bowl - USC

Pac12 #6 - Fight Hunger Bowl - Oregon St

so you think fight hunger picks oregon state over washington? all things equal my guess would be same as yours but we get washington. But if oregon and stanford both go to bcs bows, then i agree, it would be oregon state.

I was just trying to think who might travel better to SF.

I think it is a lock that we play Washington, unless they finish with less than 7 wins.

Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC, and ASU will all be off the table. UW is a bigger brand than OSU or Arizona. The only way we won't play a 7 win Washington team is if the Pac-12 gets 2 teams into a BCS game which is still possible.

I hope your right. I believe Saturday's game decides who we play though. If OSU wins Saturday I believe we get OSU. Once again I hope your right, both teams scare me with their pass games :bug:

With all of our injuries, too bad Cal is not eligible. Also too bad USC bounced back. USC in a down year would be nice. I think every PAC team but Cal and maybe Colorado is dangerous. Even Utah with that defense.

From the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl website: "The most likely candidates to play BYU ... Washington, Oregon State, Arizona, Washington State."

BYU is #21 in Sagarin's ratings. Washington is #12, Arizona #28, Oregon State #32, Washington State #34. Washington beat Boise State this season even worse than BYU did.

BYU lost to Oregon State 24-42 in Provo last year, and beat Washington State in Provo 30-6. BYU beat Washington 23-17 in Provo in 2010, and lost to Arizona 21-31 in 2008's bowl game. BYU also beat Oregon State on the road and in a bowl, won at Washington (Jake Locker's celebration penalty), and split a home-and-home with Arizona recently.

BYU will open the 2016 (neutral) and 2018 (road) seasons in Arizona, and host the Wildcats in Provo in 2020. BYU also plays @ Washington State in 2019.

I'm hoping for Utah, USC, Washington. In that order. I do not want to play Arizona or Washington State just because I'm hoping for a sexy match up. I don't want to play Oregon State because I think we match up the worst against them and would likely lose.

Out of nowhere Arizona comes back into the Fight hunger bowl picture with the upset over Oregon. Arizona is now 4-4 in conf. OSU and UW(haven't played yet today) OSU is 4-3 and UW is 3-4. Arizona leap frogged UW. Also with Washington St. beating Utah you have another 4-4 team ahead of Washington. If Washington wins you'd have OSU,UA,UW and WSU at 4-4!

As of now it looks like a OSU win tonight would eliminate them from the FH bowl.

Washington would really be on the outside looking in with a loss(with the WSU and UA wins today)
