1. So USC might play in the Rose Bowl instead of Colorado

Could be interesting.

2. I think they will....

beat Colorado in regular season. Probably against Penn St. Could be a very entertaining game...

[JonLP24]

3. They are

Because they're ranked higher than Colorado.

4. So conference standings are meaningless in determining bowl bids?

Why, then, even bother holding conference championship games? Oh, right, they extend the lucrative season by a week.

5. I don't agree with it

Colorado has a better conference record by half a game.
