Washington is on track for the College Football Playoff after the victory over Oregon, while the Ducks are in line for the Fiesta Bowl.
Helpful reminders on the postseason selection process before we plunge into the latest Pac-12 bowl forecast:
Let’s start with the Wildcats, who dominated Washington State last weekend and are 4-3 overall. They must must two of their final five games to become bowl-eligible for the fist time since 2017. Given Arizona’s performance of late, with freshman quarterback Noah Fifita playing like a veteran and the defense rising to the occasion each week — and considering the state of the opposition — the Wildcats don’t have any games that could be viewed as losses before they even take the field.A reasonable assessment based on current affairs pegs Arizona for three more wins: Arizona State and two of the other four .
Like Arizona, the Buffaloes are 4-3. Unlike Arizona, their schedule isn’t populated with winnable games.Put another way: The Buffs need two more wins but have already played Stanford and ASU and don’t face Cal. They will be underdogs in four, and possibly all five of their remaining games.
