The Pac-10 Bowl Dates for the 2010-11 season have been announced. All the games will be on ESPN except the Sun Bowl, which remains on CBS, including the Rose Bowl, which will not be on over-the-air network TV for the first time since it has been on TV at all.

Sun. Jan. 9, 6 p.m. PST, ESPN
(Fifth Bowl to pick after the BCS) (This is the former Emerald Bowl, under new sponsorship.)
The Kraft Bowl is the next to last bowl, the day before the BCS National Championship Game. And a week after winter term classes have resumed, and over a week after the Pac-10 basketball conference season will have begun.
Note also that there is no longer a guaranteed tie-in with the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego, so last year's plight of UCLA, needing to find an un-claimed at large bid could well happen again.
