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.

Can USC and UCLA ever play each other at the college Rose Bowl tournament of roses?

Why is TCU playing in the Rose Bowl?
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.
Is the highest bowl game in collage football called the Rose Bowl?
No. It's the oldest bowl game (and sometimes called "the granddaddy of them all"), but it's just another bowl game. The Rose Bowl is also the name of the stadium in Pasadena, California, that hosts the Rose Bowl game. Traditionally, the Rose Bowl game matched the champions of the Big Ten conference and the Pacific Ten conference, but since the onset of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), that is no longer necessarily the case. The BCS rotates the national championship game among four stadiums -- the Rose Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Sugar Bowl. Each year, there is a bowl game at each of those locations, plus there is an additional game held at one of those locations. The Rose Bowl therefore hosts the national championship game every fourth year (as well as the Rose Bowl game itself every year).

How did Nebraska get into the 2002 rose bowl?
Prior to the 2006 season, the BCS Championship Game was played as either the Cotton Bowl, Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, or Orange Bowl instead of its own separate game. The 2002 Rose Bowl was designated as the BCS Championship Game for the 2001 season, therefore, the top two ranked teams in the nation were slotted to play regardless of whether they came from the Big 10 or PAC 10. Nebraska lost to Miami, 37-14, in the 2002 Rose Bowl.
What is criteria for Rose Bowl invitation?
Originally, the Tournament of Roses invited the top team from the east of the country to travel to play the top team from the west in an exhibition football game. That arrangement eventually led to contracts between the Tournament of Roses and the Big Ten and what is now the Pac-12 to send their respective champions to Pasadena to play in the Rose Bowl Game. Since the introduction of the BCS, the Tournament of Roses bowl committee attempts to place the two conference champions in the game, but that is not always possible if one of the teams is playing in the BCS National Championship Game. In that case, the No. 2 team from the conference was invited. With the introduction of the "College Football Playoff" at the tail end of the 2014 season, the Rose Bowl will rotate with five other bowl sites as a semifinal site, and in those years, may not host a team from the Big Ten and Pac-12. In years where the Rose Bowl Game is not a semifinal, the bowl will only feature a Big Ten champion versus a Pac-12 champion if both teams do not participate in the playoff. It is important to note that "Rose Bowl" refers to the stadium and "Rose Bowl Game" refers to the football bowl game.
Last Super Bowl played at the Rose Bowl?

How did TCU qualify for Rose Bowl?
It can get complicated: When either the champion of the Big Ten or the Pac 12 are playing for the national title (these conference champions prefer the Rose Bowl and are nearly assured a birth there), the Rose Bowl Committee selects a team to replace the potential national champion. Revenue, quality of potential match ups, travel time and expense all play a role in the Rose Bowl's Committee's decision. Usually, a team to be considered, it must be in the top 14 in the final rankings nationally. There are also loyalty considerations. The Rose Bowl Committee loves to remain loyal to the Pac 12 IF it is a Pac 12 school playing for the national title. In that case, there is a strong preference to replace the Pac 12 potential champion with another Pac 12 school. There is also this caveat - "The Big Ten chamption gets an automactic Bowl bid, PREFERENTIALLY the Rose Bowl. So go figure. It used to be automatic before the BCS.
