Sporting News has their bowl projections out for the upcoming season:
Rose Bowl: USC vs Florida State (Playoff)
Fiesta Bowl: UW vs Penn State
Alamo Bowl: Stanford vs KSU
Holiday Bowl: Utah vs Northwestern
Foster Farms: WSU vs Michigan State
Sun Bowl: Colorado vs Miami
Las Vegas: Oregon State vs Boise State
Armed Forces Bowl: UCLA vs Army (the tie-in is with the Cactus Bowl so this one is wrong and I think it should be UCLA vs TCU)
The list is interesting in that they have no faith in Oregon righting the ship and qualifying for a bowl game this year. It also does not include either team from Arizona which would probably mean both coaches would get fired. I'm not sure that Mora keeps his job if the Bruins are the 8th best team in the conference. Cal not being included is no surprise at all.
In general, the order looks believable although it wouldn't surprise me at all to see WSU swap places with Stanford. I'm curious to see if OSU can get to the Vegas Bowl (and not get whipped by BSU).
