For its final act, the Pac-12 as we’ve known it is returning to the College Football Playoff for the first time in seven years, has another school participating in a New Year’s Six bowl and will send a total of eight teams to bowls.Most of those eight — the most since the Pac-12 landed nine teams in bowls in 2017 — will be representing the conference for the last time after it got picked apart this summer during the latest round of realignment.No. 2 Washington is the highlight, becoming the first Pac-12 team to be selected for the playoff since the Huskies last made the semifinals in 2016. Washington will be the No. 2 seed and faced third-seeded Texas in the Sugar Bowl. But even the Huskies’ return comes with a tinge of disappointment after they were sent to New Orleans rather than the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.“I think for the program and the fans, and just because of our geographical location, I think certainly the Rose Bowl would have been something that...
