New WSU AD Jon Haarlow Unveils Bold Vision Ahead of Pivotal Fall for Cougars Athletics
Earlier this week, a report from On3 Sports indicated that the Poinsettia Bowl would be returning for the 2026 season, and it could pit the Mountain West champion against the Pac-12 champion — which would seem to take the Pac-12 champion out of contention for the Group of 6 spot in the CFP.
Haarlow may not have the singlehanded authority to ensure the Pac-12’s access to the CFP, but he did say he would do what he can to do so.
“My full intention, the Pac-12’s full intention, is to get our champion into the CFP,” Haarlow said. “Make no mistake about it, that is priority number one. Full stop. So while we still want to make sure there’s other opportunities for our other football members to have quality opponents and get to destinations and have some postseason success, the CFP is probably number one.”
