Whoever wins the Pac 12 goes to the Rose Bowl. BYU cannot go to the Rose Bowl. End of Story.
If UU wins the Pac 12, they are the only Pac 12 team in the NY6. If anyone else wins the Pac 12, that team will also be the only Pac 12 team in the NY6.
It's the Big 10 that we need to have collapse. And the Big 12. But especially the Big 10. We need MSU to lose in horrendous blowout fashion. We need Wisconsin to lose similarly.
Ole Miss getting beaten by MissSt by 20+ would also help.
Ideally OU or OkState loses twice to the other. (Once this week, once in the conference championship).
