It's the off-season, so what the hey? Let's do some Pac-12 bowl projections going into 2016.
Rose Bowl - Stanford vs. Michigan - The Cardinal face a lot of questions going into 2016, but have a proven track record of reloading, a strong system/coaching and a boatload of talent. With no real other expected elite contender in the Pac-12, they deserve to be the odds on favorite to get to the Rose Bowl. I think the Cardinal lose at least a couple games so miss out on the Playoff but would get the most-hyped of match-ups against a Big Ten winning or runner-up Michigan and Jim Harbaugh.
