I don't get how a team playing for the conf championship could get passed up by
the Rose Bowl (Pac 12 champ), Alamo Bowl (Pac 12 2nd pick), Holiday Bowl (Pac 12 3rd pick), Foster Farms Bowl (Pac 12 4th), and Sun Bowl (Pac 12 5th) to be still around to get invited to the Las Vegas Bowl (Pac 12 6th).
