Bears won the Rose Bowl.

Jim Plunkett was the starting QB for Stanford when they won the Rose Bowl in 1970 and won two Super Bowls as starting QB with the Raiders in 1981 and 1984. Tom Brady was a backup QB for Michigan in 1998 when they won the Rose Bowl and won three Super Bowls as a starter with the Patriots. Brian Griese was the starting quarterback for the Michigan team that won the Rose Bowl and a backup on the Denver Broncos team that won the Super Bowl in 1999. There may be more but that's all I can think of.
The USC Trojans won it.
The 1995 Rose Bowl, played January 1, was won by Penn State by a score of 38-20 over the University of Oregon.
Texas Longhorns
The Rose Bowl game, played January 2, 1956, was won by Michigan State over UCLA by the score of 17-14.
As of the 2007 season, USC has the most Rose Bowl wins with 22. Michigan is second with 8.
The University of Alabama, the first team from the south invited to play in the rose bowl, won it 20-19. Alabama has won more rose bowls than any other non big-10, pac-10 team. Thier record in Rose bowls is 4-1-1. After Alabama dismantled USC 34-14 in the 1946 Rose Bowl, the Rose Bowl committee began only allowing Big-10 and PAc-10 teams to play in it.
Including it's win in 2014, Michigan State is 4-1 all-time in the Rose Bowl Game. It is important to note that "Rose Bowl" refers to the stadium and "Rose Bowl Game" refers to the football bowl game held at the Rose Bowl each January 1st or 2nd.
Just happened to read in our paper that it was won by the Naval team from the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in Mare Island, Ca.
For the 2010 season, if either the Big 10 champion or PAC 10 champion is playing in the BCS National Championship Game and a non-BCS team qualifies for a BCS bowl, that team will play in the Rose Bowl. The University of Oregon won the PAC 10 and would normally play in the Rose Bowl. But since they are playing in the National Championship Game, obviously, they can't play in the Rose Bowl. So TCU, a non-BCS team that qualified for a BCS bowl, was slotted to play in the Rose Bowl.
