(and if BYU goes to the Vegas Bowl) our opponent won't be a PAC10 team because there won't be a bowl eligible team for Vegas to select from. Sorry if this has been discussed already.
This is the PAC10 bowl pecking order:
Rose Bowl (BCS) gets #1 pick
Holiday Bowl #2
Sun Bowl #3
Emerald Bowl #4
Vegas Bowl #5
My predicted final standings:
1. Oregon 8-1 (11-1) | remaining schedule: @AZ-w, @UCLA-w, OSU-w
2. USC 7-2 (10-2) | @ASU-w, UCLA-w
3. ASU 7-2 (10-2) | USC-l, AZ-w
4/5. OSU 5-4 (7-5) | @WSU-w, @Oregon-l
5/4. CAL 5-4 (8-4) | @UW-w, @Stanford-w
6. UCLA 4-5 (5-7*) | Oregon-l, @USC-l
*not bowl eligible
So, if two teams go to BCS bowls:
-Oregon (BCS)
-USC (BCS)
-ASU (Holiday)
-OSU (Sun or Emerald)
-CAL (Emerald or Sun)
-<no PAC10 bowl eligible team left> (Vegas)
But if only one team goes to BCS bowls:
-Oregon (BCS)
-USC (Holiday)
-ASU (Sun)
-Cal (Emerald due to game being in San Fran)
-OSU (Vegas)
So I believe it will either be a non PAC10 team or Oregon State. If it's a non PAC10 opponent, CBSSportsline is guessing Michigan State:
