The Pac-12 Conference's College Football Playoff is ranked first. Unless they are chosen for the playoffs, a champion travels to the Rose Bowl. If the Pac-12 champion is in the playoffs, the Rose Bowl will be filled by a Pac-12 club. #2 The Las Vegas Bowl vs. the SEC (even years) or the Big Ten (in odd years). #3 The New Mexico Bowl. #4 The Holiday Bowl. #5 The Redbox Bowl. #6 The Foster Farms Bowl. #7 The Meacham Bowl. #8 The Cure Bowl.
Teams that do not meet the criteria for any other bowl game can try out for the Gator Bowl, which offers an incentive for those who have never been selected as one of the five major bowls: $500,000 if you aren't picked by any other bowl game, $100,000 if you're rejected by all other games but want to play in a BCS conference school's bowl game, and so on.
In addition to the aforementioned six major bowl games, several other games offer incentives for playing in them. These include: the Cactus Bowl - $250,000; the Camellia Bowl - $200,000; the Beach Bowl - $150,000; the Alamo Bowl - $100,000; the Hawaii Bowl - $75,000; and the Poinsettia Bowl - $60,000.
Unless they are picked for the playoffs, the winner of the College Football Playoff travels to the Rose Bowl. #2 The Las Vegas Bowl, which pits the SEC (even years) against the Big Ten (odd years). The Mountain West Conference has been added as a full member of the NCAA football division system beginning with the 2014 season. They will receive an automatic berth into the Las Vegas Bowl every year until they earn their first invitation to a BCS game.
The CFP semifinals are played on January 1 and 2. The highest ranked team not already invited to play in the Rose Bowl serves as the other participant. If both teams are from the same conference, they will be selected by the CFP committee. Otherwise, the chairman of the Rose Bowl Committee selects one at random.
The Rose Bowl is part of the New Year's Day lineup of games in Pasadena, California. It is an annual American college football bowl game that is held on New Year's Day at the end of the college football season. It is sponsored by the Rose Bowl Foundation, a non-profit organization, and has a net revenue of about $100 million USD. The game was originally known as the Pacific Coast Championship Game until it was renamed after former UCLA coach John R. Rose. The inaugural game was played on January 1, 1902, with Stanford defeating Oregon State 7–3.
This season, the Rose Bowl will not be a part of the College Football Playoff. As a result, a Big Ten squad and a Pac-12 team will be involved. But keep in mind that if one of these teams makes the College Football Playoff, the runner-up will play in the Rose Bowl instead. Now it's time to move on to the Pac-12.
The Oregon Ducks come into this game after an undefeated regular season. They finished the year with a 42-13 victory over the Texas Longhorns in the Fiesta Bowl. Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 2,891 yards and 28 touchdowns last season. He also had five interceptions. The running back duo of Royce Freeman and Thomas Rawls combined for 1,977 yards and 23 touchdowns. Defensively, nine players recorded at least three sacks last season. Linebacker Troy Dye led the team with 90 tackles. They will face off against Arizona State Sun Devils who are coming off a 41-27 loss to UCLA in the Holiday Bowl. The ASU offense was held under 200 yards for the first time since 2010. Quarterback Manny Wilkins finished the season with 2,298 yards and 20 touchdowns passed along with 9 interceptions. His top target is K.J. Hill who caught 77 passes for 1,161 yards and 12 scores last season. On the other hand, the Sun Devil defense allowed 35.5 points per game which ranked 120th out of 130 Division I schools. They gave up more than 400 yards in eight games last season. Linebacker John Timu led the team with 89 tackles.
The Big Ten and Pac-12 conference champions have typically played in the Rose Bowl Game (or their predecessors). Since 2002, the Rose Bowl Game has diverged from its typical pairings in order to be used in "national championship" schemes. However, the conferences still use it as an opportunity to determine their champion.
Here is a list of all the previous Big Ten/Pac-12 Championship games:
1927 - Iowa vs. Stanford (Big Ten) - Iowa wins 9-0
1928 - Nebraska vs. Stanford (Big Ten) - No game scheduled due to lack of interest by fans and schools
1929 - Illinois vs. Washington State (Pacific Coast Conference) - Illinois wins 7-0
1930 - Indiana vs. California (Pacific Coast Conference) - No game scheduled due to lack of interest by fans and schools
1931 - Michigan vs. Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh changes name to University of Pittsburgh) - No game scheduled due to lack of interest by fans and schools
1932 - Wisconsin vs. Oregon (Oregon joins Pacific Coast Conference) - Wisconsin wins 10-3

However, the Rose Bowl has brought teams from the Big Ten (in the Midwest) and Pacific-12 conferences, as well as their forerunners, together since 1947; with the introduction of the College Football Playoff system, the bowl has maintained its tie-in with these two conferences, generally matching their champions unless the team...
The Rose Bowl is an annual college football game played on New Year's Day at the end of the season. It is one of four major bowls in the NCAA Tournament-like Bowl Championship Series (BCS), along with the Sugar, Orange, and Fiesta bowls. The game features the national champion of the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision, which includes Division I-A and I-FCS) against the winner of a conference championship game. The Rose Bowl was established in 1947 when it was believed that the Pacific Coast Conference (which had disbanded after the 1946 season) would continue to meet as a group after the conclusion of the war-torn 1946 season. However, only two members of the PCU joined the new conference: California and Oregon State. As such, both California and Oregon State were invited to participate in what is now known as the Rose Bowl Game.
Since then, all but one of the seasons have been finished by January 1st (the exception being the 2008 season, which was completed in December 2007). The BCS title game always takes place on New Year's Day at the end of the season, with the other three games being played on Thanksgiving weekend.
