The Pac-12 remains unified through its bowl affiliations, maintaining traditional ties despite recent challenges. Bowl selections continue to follow established protocols that factor in team records carefully.
Washington State’s recent three-game loss streak is mitigated by the safety net within the Pac-12's bowl selection process, preventing lesser teams from overtaking their eligibility due to more favorable records.
The one-loss-down rule ensures a team cannot be passed over for a bowl slot unless there is only a one-loss difference, highlighting how historical selection frameworks still influence outcomes.
Despite Washington State’s eight wins, the Pac-12 bowl selection process favors teams like Arizona State with ten wins, enforcing the significance of maintaining winning records in bowl selections.
