Fair to say that this weekend had no measurable impact on the Beav bowl prospects.
Vegas against Florida would be the softest landing and the best matchup
Selfishly, it is the one I (and I am sure many others) can actually attend

Link? As far as the Vegas Bowl goes, I was seeing a projection that it would be Beavers against Missouri. As far as attending the bowl goes, flights look ridiculously expensive right now. |

NY 6 were announced a while ago. SC/Tulane. |

How so? SC losing did not change the pecking order of Pac aligned bowl games did it? |

This weekend had potentially big impact on OSU’s bowl placement. How so? SC losing did not change the pecking order of Pac aligned bowl games did it? other team lossss or wins that didn’t end up happening could have spun USC out of the Cotton moving us down in bowl potential. That is an implication that likely went our way. |

My point was, after all of the justified hand wringing, nothing was affected |

If the Bowls picked strictly by the final playoff poll we're sitting pretty, but they don't necessarily do so.
It all depends where UW ends up then there's a bit of a logjam, we could get passed by a couple ranked below us. That USC loss potentially triggered some things.

So lets say SC won and Washington ends up in Rose. What is different in that scenario from where we are now? Genuinely curious. Don't we just see Utah to Alamo and the selecting begins? |

Color me nervous and paranoid more than anything. I really wanted the Vegas bowl and was worried about any perceived loss of strength of schedule. |

Right, but my post took place after the SC question was officially resolved. My point was, after all of the justified hand wringing, nothing was affected Because Georgia won to save the Pac-12. Yes. A doomsday scenario was not triggered. And Penn State and USC finished a spot apart. I'm a big enough cynic to believe that those two finished switched if Purdue beat Michigan. Anyway, the big thing is that Utah defeating USC eliminated Oregon State from consideration in the Alamo Bowl. A lot of projections had Utah there based upon ranking, but the Utes just went in 2019 and do not travel, even with a compelling matchup. If USC beat Utah by a couple of scores, I can't believe that the Utes really were the selection. In my mind, the Alamo Bowl pick was probably between Oregon State and UCLA. Utah probably would not have been the pick in the Holiday or Las Vegas (unless Oregon State was the pick in the Alamo Bowl). So, Oregon State had a shot to play in a better bowl against a better opponent at a better time with the fallback being the Las Vegas Bowl, exactly where they wound up. And the Utah win completely eliminated that shot. So, potentially nothing was affected, but I sincerely doubt that that is truly an accurate assessment of at least a couple of alternate timelines. |
