Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s wizardry in the Sugar Bowl, a College Football Playoff semifinal, on New Year’s Day got the No. 2 Huskies (14-0) into the national championship game against No. 1 Michigan (14-0), the Rose Bowl winner.

It also earned Penix a spot on the all-bowl team selected by The Associated Press

There were enough memorable individual performances this postseason to cause us to expand our team a little. The AP made room for three running backs who each rushed for at least 200 yards in their respective bowl games, and we also added an all-purpose spot both on offense and special teams.

Here’s a look at the all-bowl honorees now that all the postseason games other than the CFP final, set for Monday night in Houston, have been played.
