Haven't seen an official announcement yet, but ESPN's Ted Miller is reporting that the Beavers are headed to Vegas to play BYU. It makes sense... as you'll see in the open thread we had going earlier (below), all the other bowls involving Pac-10 schools have been announced. Quickly, it's: Arizona- Holiday, Stanford- Sun, USC- Emerald, and Cal- Poinsettia.
