Bowl Games 2023-24

The Pac-12 had eight teams play in bowl games which must be a record number. (I have not done the research to verify) 

It's easy to group them into two camps: the pre-New Years and then the 2024 games. The six who played before New Years all had matchups against higher-ranked teams so mostly wearing white. (USC was lower ranked but wore red since—I think—the Holiday bowl alternates home teams, and Oregon was away last year) The results were mixed with the LA schools and Arizona winning and the oither three looking pretty weak.


Jan 1 provided a much better result for the top two teams in the Pac: Oregon and Washington. Both winning and looking good and colorful doing it! 

In the "natty" (Thanks Oregon's Cliff Harris for the term) #2 UW was the road team by one ranking point to Michigan #1, so wore all white to the Wolverines totally all blue.
