The second-tier bowls (Sun, LA and Independence) must select teams in order of conference record.The bowl projections will be published in this space each Tuesday.College Football Playoff/Sugar BowlTeam: WashingtonComment: No two-loss team has ever reached the playoff, and the Pac-12 probably won’t be the conference to change the paradigm. Nor has any Pac-12 team gone undefeated in league play i...
