A few things ...
-- According to the Latest Line in The Oregonian delivered to my house this morning -- yes, I still subscribe -- the Pac-12 team is favored in all 10 bowl games in which a conference school is appearing.
Does that say more about the suspect quality of the Pac-12's bowl tie-ins or the strength of the conference? It's hard to say.
There is nothing wrong with the Rose Bowl, where Stanford meets Iowa, or the Alamo Bowl, which matches Oregon and TCU.
I think tomorrow's Las Vegas Bowl, in which traditional rivals BYU and Utah square off, will be must-see TV.
