The two marque match ups will be the Rose Bowl, in which the Oregon Ducks will face off against the Florida State Seminoles in the semi-finals of the College Football Playoff and the Fiesta Bowl, in which the Arizona Wildcats will face off against Mountain West Conference champions, Boise State. Overall, the Pac-12 will see two bowl games each against the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Mountain West Conferences. For the fourth consecutive year, the Pac-12, often considered to be the second best Division I FBS (formerly Division I-A) football conference, will not play a bowl game against what many consider to be the best conference, the SEC. The last time that teams from the Pac-12 and SEC met in the post-season was the 2011 BCS National Championship Game when Auburn defeated Oregon for the national championship. The only hope for a Pac-12 v. SEC match-up was for Oregon to win the Rose Bowl, and SEC Conference Champions Alabama to win the Sugar Bowl, in which case both teams would have squared off in the inaugural College Football Championship Game. Because Alabama lost the Sugar Bowl and Oregon won the Rose Bowl, the Ducks played the Big Ten Conference Champion Ohio State Buckeyes in a re-match of the 2010 Rose Bowl.

USC All-Academic First teamPac-12 names football all-academic teams, Pac-12 Conference, November 26, 2013 Pos.NameSchoolYr.GPAMajor Home game attendance During the 2014 season the members of the Pac-12 Conference saw nearly four million spectators attend football games at their home stadiums. UCLA led the conference with 459,901 total spectators attending the six games held at the Rose Bowl, taking the title back from cross-town rivals USC.The only other Pac-12 team with a stadium that exceeds 90,000 capacity Despite selling out their stadium in half of their games, Washington State recorded the lowest overall attendance with 184,762 total spectators attending the six games held at Martin Stadium.Even if one counts the attendance at the CenturyLink game in total attendance, WSU still comes in last. Oregon and Utah both continued their respective sellout streaks as well as their statuses as the only two programs in the conference and in their respective divisions to sell out each game or record a total season average of over 100% capacity. The Ducks led the conference in sellout percentage for the fourth consecutive year,The Ducks lead the Pac-10 conference in sellout percentage dating back to the 1998 season, however as Colorado and Utah were not members of the conference during those years, only Pac-12 seasons are referenced filling Autzen Stadium to an average of 106% capacity throughout the season. The only teams aside from the Ducks and the Utes to achieve sellout attendance for a game were the Arizona Wildcats and the Stanford Cardinal in their losses to USC, and the Washington State Cougars, in their losses to eventual division champions Arizona and Oregon and hated rivals Washington in the Apple Cup. When it came to conference rivalry games played at home, the advantage was nearly split, at 4–31 - #11 Arizona over #13 Arizona State; 2 - #9 Oregon over Washington; 3 - #3 Oregon over Oregon State; 4 - Stanford over Cal; 5 - #9 UCLA over #19 USC; 6 - Utah over Colorado and 7 - Washington over Washington State (.571) with the higher-ranked team coming out on top in each case. No Pac-12 team achieved a perfect record in their home stadium this year; the teams with the best home records were the division champions Arizona and Oregon, both going 6–1 (.857), followed by Arizona State and USC both of whom also suffered just one loss but playing one less overall game, posting records of 5–1 (.833). The single loss suffered at home by Arizona was delivered by USC; Oregon's sole defeat came from Arizona, as did the single home defeat of Arizona State, who was the only team to beat USC in the LA Coliseum. California and Oregon faced off in a game at the newly built Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers as well as the new home of the Pac-12 Football Championship Game at least until the 2016 season.Pac-12 announces deal to host Football Championship Game at Levi's Stadium https://pac-12.com/news/2014/5/15/pac-12-announces-deal-host-football-championship-game-levis-stadium.aspx Pac-12 Conference May 15, 2014 November 29, 2014 The game was officially considered a home game for Cal because of the stadium's proximity to the Golden Bears' home base at Berkeley,40 miles however due to the proximity to the Ducks's home of Eugene466 miles, the closest Pac-12 opponent outside of the Pacific Northwest and the large number of Oregon alumni who live in the Bay Area, the stadium was seen as a neutral location.Marcus Mariota throws 5 TDs as Oregon trumps Cal in 100-point affair https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap/_/gameId/400548289 ESPN October 24, 2014 November 29, 2014 Washington State continued their practice of hosting a "home game" at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, home of the Seattle Seahawks, in order to attract audiences that would exceed the capacity of Martin Stadium. Unlike the match-up between Oregon and California, CenturyLink Field provided a home-field environment that helped the Cougars establish and maintain an early lead over Rutgers, however, going into the fourth quarter leading 31–24, the Scarlet Knights rallied in the fourth quarter by scoring 17 points to Washington State's 7, going on to win the game 41–38.Rutgers rallies in 4th to beat Cougars 41-38 https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap/_/gameId/400547993 ESPN August 28, 2014 November 29, 2014 As for non-conference opponents in Pac-12 arenas, several marque programs were defeated including the defending Big Ten and Rose Bowl champions, Michigan State, who lost to the Ducks in Autzen Stadium, along with two wins over Notre Dame, who were defeated in Sun Devil Stadium and the LA Coliseum. All in all, the Pac-12 went 23–2 (.920) in non-conference home match ups, with the sole losses coming from RutgersDefeated Washington State at CenturyLink Field and BYU.Defeated California at California Memorial Stadium The conference participated in two non-conference neutral site games and split their record at 1–1 (.500). UCLA defeated Texas at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in the Advocare Cowboys Showdown. AT&T Stadium is located in Arlington, Texas, a three-hour drive from the Longhorns campus in Austin.
