As the college football season winds down, the University of Washington is in contention for a New Year’s Six Bowl Game. With the Pac-12 Championship game between Oregon and USC looming, the question remains whether the Huskies will make a New Year’s Six Bowl Game regardless of Oregon’s outcome.
The answer to this question is complicated. The College Football Playoff Committee is responsible for selecting the teams that will compete in the New Year’s Six Bowl Games. The committee looks at a variety of factors when making their decision, including conference championships, strength of schedule, and head-to-head results.
If Oregon wins the Pac-12 Championship, they will likely be selected for a New Year’s Six Bowl Game. This would leave the University of Washington in a precarious position. The Huskies have had a solid season, but their lack of a conference championship could hurt their chances of making a New Year’s Six Bowl Game.
However, if Oregon loses the Pac-12 Championship, the Huskies could be in a much better position to make a New Year’s Six Bowl Game. The committee could view Washington as the best team in the Pac-12 and select them for a New Year’s Six Bowl Game.
Ultimately, it is impossible to know what the College Football Playoff Committee will decide until they make their selection. However, it is clear that the outcome of the Pac-12 Championship game between Oregon and USC will have a major impact on whether or not the University of Washington makes a New Year’s Six Bowl Game.
