So, based on no actual calculations or studies or ouija boards, just my gut, the "No Bowl" option has a 60% chance. After watching the Washington game, I feel it’s unlikely we win Big Game.

I googled and googled last night to find something official and couldn't find it. Interestingly when I did a search for "2007 Postseason Football Handbook" just now google found a link to the 2006 edition but the link was titled 2007 so I guess used the 2006 for 2007.

Cal should do the honorable thing and decline any bowl invitations. We need to do something dramatic to change the lovable loser mindset. We don’t deserve a bowl even if we beat Stanford.

But you're right, nothing's certain. ASU is in the best shape; even if they lose to USC in a close game, beating Arizona should be enough to put them in the Territorial Cup.

Frankly, I think Oregon's games from here on out are 50/50 at best. You just can't say any game is a gimme when you're out a starting QB, WR, 2nd WR, LB, 2nd RB (I won't say Colvin/Johnson are 'backups' since they've been so fantastic and have played a ton), and starting LB. And when your QB is named Leaf. The game against UCLA could easily be a Dorrell special, and rivalry games are anything-goes as we all know. If they lose again they're easily out of the top 14. I think USC's definitely out of the top 14 with a loss to ASU, and ASU could easily be dumped with a loss to USC. Couple Oregon losing with Hawaii wins over Boise and Washington and they might be left on the outside looking in. Though frankly, I think Oregon would get trounced by OSU in the Rose Bowl without all their weaponry. I’m really not so sure why everyone seems to think the Pac 10 will get 2 BCS bowls…
