It was a crazy up and down year for the Pac-10 this season as Oregon and Stanford dominated, Arizona hung around, and most everybody else circled the drain. The conference was able to get only four bowl eligible teams this year and with the announcement of the 2010 bowl game schedule, the Pac-10 will only send four teams across the country. The four schools are Oregon, Stanford, Arizona and Washington. Arizona State finished with six wins but needed seven due to the fact that they played two teams in 1-AA (Football Championship Series).
