Washington State

The Cougars entered the Apple Cup with an 8–1–1 record and a road win over Washington at Husky Stadium would clinch the Pac-10 title and a Rose Bowl berth, WSU's first bowl game in 51 years. The Huskies prevailed at home, 23–10, for their eighth straight win over the Cougs, who were invited to the Holiday Bowl.

Conference leader UCLA lost by a point to rival USC, which gave Washington the Pac-10 title and Rose Bowl berth; the top five teams in the Pac-10 had two losses each in league play.
