Después de la temporada regular de 2014, el Pac-12 tenía a sus ocho equipos elegibles de tazón seleccionados para jugar en un juego de tazón de postemporada. Los dos enfrentamientos de marca serán el Rose Bowl , en el que los Oregon Ducks se enfrentarán a los Florida State Seminoles en las semifinales del College Football Playoff y el Fiesta Bowl , en el que los Arizona Wildcats se enfrentarán a Mountain West. Campeones de la conferencia , Boise State. En general, el Pac-12 verá dos juegos de tazón cada uno contra las conferencias ACC , Big Ten , Big 12 y Mountain West.

Por cuarto año consecutivo, la Pac-12, a menudo considerada como la segunda mejor conferencia de fútbol de la División I FBS (antes División IA), no jugará un juego de bol contra la que muchos consideran la mejor conferencia, la SEC . La última vez que los equipos de Pac-12 y SEC se enfrentaron en la postemporada fue en el Juego de Campeonato Nacional BCS 2011 cuando Auburn derrotó a Oregon por el campeonato nacional. La única esperanza para un enfrentamiento Pac-12 contra SEC era que Oregon ganara el Rose Bowl, y los campeones de la conferencia SEC Alabama ganaran el Sugar Bowl , en cuyo caso ambos equipos se habrían enfrentado en el primer juego de campeonato de fútbol universitario. . PorqueAlabama perdió el Sugar Bowl y Oregon ganó el Rose Bowl, los Ducks jugaron contra el campeón de la conferencia Big Ten Ohio State Buckeyes en una revancha del Rose Bowl 2010 .

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.[4] 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.[5]

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,[6] 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 4–3[7] (.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.[8] The game was officially considered a home game for Cal because of the stadium's proximity to the Golden Bears' home base at Berkeley,[9] however due to the proximity to the Ducks's home of Eugene[10] and the large number of Oregon alumni who live in the Bay Area, the stadium was seen as a neutral location.[11]

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.[12]

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 Rutgers[13] and BYU.[14]

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. The other neutral-site game was the Rocky Mountain Showdown played at Mile High Stadium, home of the Denver Broncos, in Denver, Colorado[15] in which Colorado lost to their in-state rivals Colorado State.
