At least seven bowls will be available to Pac-12 teams in the 2021 college football season, although the bowl game scheduled for the San Francisco Bay Area does not have a site or a date yet and is in limbo.
The schedule for all 44 bowls to be played following the 2021 season was released this week.
The Pac-12 will get at least one berth in the six selection-committee bowls, probably the Rose Bowl, and could get a second berth in one of the other five elite bowls the two College Football Playoff semifinal games (Cotton and Orange bowls), plus the Peach, Fiesta and Sugar bowls. That would give the Pac-12 an eighth bowl berth.
