The PAC12 has 10 of its 12 teams (83%) in bowl games. The SEC and Big 10 have 10 of their 14 teams (71%) in Bowls. The Big12 has 7 of its 10 teams (70%) in Bowls. The ACC has 9 of its 14 (64%) teams in Bowls.
The PAC12 teams are favored in all but one of their games and that is a pick 'em game (See below). That's partly because they play only 2 teams ranked in the top 25 (Iowa #5 and TCU #11). Also because of localized pairings. The SEC and ACC play 4 ranked teams. The SEC and ACC play 4 rankled teams. The Big 10 plays 6 ranked teams. The Big 12 plays 5 ranked teams.
The info for PAC12 bowl games and their ratings in most exciting matchups (picked by ESPN) with #1 being the best and #40 he worst...in date order....
New Mexico Bowl- Dec 19, Arizona (-10 points) vs. New Mexico 11:00 AM PST- ESPN (#34 Best matchup).
Las Vegas Bowl- Dec 19, Utah (-3 points) vs. BYU 12:30 PM PST- ABC (#7 Best). 2 Mormon teams in Sin City?
Sun Bowl- Dec 26, Wash St. (-2.5 points) vs. Miami 11:00 AM PST- CBS (#15 Best matchup).
Heart of Dallas Bowl- Dec 26, Washington (-8.5 points) vs. So. Miss. 11:30 AM PST- ESPN (#29 Best matchup).
Foster Farms Bowl- Dec 26, UCLA (-7 points) vs. Nebraska 6:15 PM PST- ESPN (#19 Best matchup). This was the Emerald, then Kraft, now foster farms. Nuts , Cheese and Chicken. UCLA lost in all 3. Does 4 make them a Turkey?
Armed Forces Bowl- Dec 29, Cal (-7 points) vs. Air Force 11:00 AM PST- ESPN (#23 Best). Air Cal vs. Ground AF attacks.
Holiday Bowl- Dec 30, USC (-3 points) vs. Wisconsin 7:30 PM PST- ESPN (#10 Best matchup).
Rose Bowl- Jan 1, Stanford (-6.5 points) vs. Iowa 2:00PM PST- ESPN (#4 Best matchup). The third of 3 P12-B10 matchups.
Alamo Bowl- Jan 2, Oregon ( Pick 'em) vs. TCU 3:45PM PST- ESPN (#5 Best matchup). To me O/U on drive stops s/b one.
Cactus Bowl- Jan 2, Arizona St. (-1 point) vs. W. Virginia 7:15 PM PST- ESPN (#27 Best matchup).
Besides the Stanford (#4) and Oregon (#5) best matchups the others in the top 5 are #1 Mich St vs. Alabama and #2 Oklahoma vs. Clemson, and #3 Notre Dame-Ohio State. Last at #40 is San José State vs. Georgia State.
I think that the PAC 12 will go 8-2 in their bowl games with the two losses among the WSU, ASU, and Utah games.
