Pac 12 Bowls

Excited for the Pac 12 Bowl games? You should be - they are right around the corner!

There are some concerns about the Pac 12 teams in their respective bowls. First off, the Pac 12 is an underdog in six of the 7 bowl games (Oregon is favored over Wisconsin). If the Pac 12 were to leave with a winning record, 4-3, there would need to be at least three upsets. A winning record would really bring some some respect to the Pac 12.

Secondly, though Oregon is favored over Wisconsin, there is some cause for worry. Five od Chip Kelly's six losses have come to teams with extra time to prepare: Boise State, LSU, Ohio State, Auburn and Stanford.

There are also exciting games featuring some of the best players in the college game. Andrew Luck has the chance to leave Stanford with a bang. He has been celebrated (and #trending) all year for his return to the Cardinals. Now that he is headed to the NFL, the Fiesta Bowl is his last chance... it would be a shame if the Cardinals lost and his college career ended with a loss.

RG3 (Robert Griffin III) is this year's Heisman Trophy winner. Can he back up that honor with a Baylor win over Washington?

The bowl games are exciting and I can't wait to see what happens!
