Pac-12 2020 Bowl Game Guide

Oregon and Colorado will represent the Pac-12 in bowl games this year.

Only two Pac-12 teams will participate in bowl games this season as several Pac-12 programs made the decision to opt out this year. USC, Washington, Utah and Arizona State were among the few Pac-12 teams that made the decision to end their 2020 seasons after regular conference play finished. 

Oregon and Colorado however will advance and play in the Alamo Bowl and Fiesta Bowl. Here is everything you need to know.
