SALT LAKE CITY — A loss on Saturday kept Utah out of its first-ever Pac-12 Championship appearance after giving up a two-game division lead. With one game left in the regular season, Utah is now playing for a better bowl opportunity.
The following is a look at the various bowl game opportunities available to Utah should it win or lose this Saturday against Colorado.
The Pac-12 is affiliated with seven bowl games this year, including the Rose Bowl, which is sometimes a part of the College Football Playoff system (it is not this year). While there is no hard rule that the conference affiliates are required to stick to conference standings when selecting teams, the order of the bowl game selection is as follows: Rose Bowl, Alamo Bowl, Holiday Bowl, Foster Farms Bowl, Sun Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl and the Cactus Bowl.
