The Pac-12 expanded to 12 teams from their previous 10 over the college football offseason, but were only able to send seven teams to bowl games, a relatively small haul compared to the other 12-team BCS automatic qualifying conferences. The Pac-12 was still able to send two teams to the BCS, however, as both Stanford and Oregon will represent the conference in major bowl games.
