Pac 12 shafted. Washington State goes 10-2. Loses by 3 in mid september on the road on a questionable call. Wins 9 straight and loses in a blizzard to Washington.

Conveniently falls just below Florida and LSU in final poll giving SEC 4 NY6 bowls to Pac12 getting one. Huge money disparity. Cougars are rewarded with a 2,000 mile trip to San Antonio to play the 4th ranked Big 12 team Iowa State, who has limited appeal to put it mildly.

Florida blown out by 20 at home to Missouri-how do they get in?

Washington St had their chance & failed! Please don’t blame a questionable call or a blizzard on them losing, they had 60 mins to get it done in both games & failed!
Pac-12 was down this year clearly & no teams deserved to get in, in which they did not.
Florida & LSU played tougher schedules, that’s what it comes down to.
