Pac-10 Bowl Arrangements - 2007-08

From the Pac-10's weekly press release:

The Pacific-10 Conference has agreements with six bowl partners.  The lineup is led by the Rose Bowl, which is the destination for the Pac-10 champion, unless said champion is ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the final Bowl Championship Series rankings.  If that were the case, the Pac-10 champion would play in the BCS National Championship Game, which this year will be played in New Orleans following the Allstate Sugar Bowl.  In addition to the Rose Bowl, Pac-10 bowl partners include the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, Brut Sun Bowl, Emerald Bowl, Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl and Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl.  Pac-10 bowl assignments are determined by the final conference standings.  If there is a tie for the Pac-10 championship, the head-to-head winner among the tied teams shall be awarded the conference’s top bowl position.  In the event of a tie for any position in the standings other than the championship, the affected bowl may choose its participant from among the tied teams.  Following is a summary of the Pac-10 bowl arrangements for the 2007-08 season:
