No the Rose bowl will take Notre Dame if Oregon goes the MNC, why take a 3 loss team when you can take a 12-0 or at worse an 11-1 ND. The Rose Bowl contractual obligation to the Pac-12 extends only to the Conference Champ, after that they pick whoever they want.

And Stanford might not even make it back into the top 14 after they lose to Oregon(assumption), so the Rose might not even have that option. I also cant see a realistic scenario where USC can make the holiday bowl.

Wouldnt ND/Nebraska make a crappy rose bowl? I cant imagine no pac team.

I think, at this point, I'd rather see oregon win it than bama or notre dame. And if they do, I think chip's more likely to move on.

Well, unless stanford somehow upsets oregon, it's looking like oregon/nd or oregon/bama. Who do you prefer in those?
