Cool fucking stat!

We're missing the Cotton, I'm sure someone can do an inventory of other teams which have played in all 5/6 (and even won all 5/6), depending on how major the Peach Bowl should be treated.

JoePa won the 5 majors in his era when PSU miraculously defeated Rich Brooks' 10 year plan to virtually win the Rose Bowl Ducks. PSU finished actually undefeated. With PSU making the Peach this year they can claim all 6 major bowls.

Probably a very short and blue blood list of those programs which have been to 5. USC wouldn't be on it with no Sugar and Peach, and Michigan has never played in the Cotton or Peach. Bama, Ohio State and FSU have been to all 6. Georgia to 5, missing the Fiesta. Notre Dame misses the Peach. That's enough looking up for now.

I read that Penn State has won all NY6 except the Peach, so they will be the first if they beat Ole Miss. Guessing the Big Ten will have the most since they were contracted with the Rose and Orange

Edit: of course, we know no one in the Pac-12 comes close since we're the first and only for both Sugar and Peach

Once upon a time we we first and only for the Orange

USC joined us

USC has won RB, Cotton (over an unranked Texas Tech) and the OB.

They played Penn State in the Fiesta in 1982 and lost.

Oregon only has Ws (and Ls) in the Rose and Fiesta, no other appearances.

So we can join SC as the only P12 programs with wins in 3 P6 bowls (I'm assuming UCLA, ASU, Cal and Stanford haven't done that but haven't looked it up), and the only one to not have a major asterisk on it.

Presumably we can also become the only P12 program to have wins in 3 separate bowls over teams ranked in the top 3 overall:

Rose (#1 Minnesota and 3 Michigan)
Orange (#2 Oklahoma)
Sugar (#3 Texas)

Pretty sure Oregon went to Cotton instead of us in 1996 (where we lost to Neu and his Buffs)

1995/96 CB

Where *they* got plungered by Neu and his Buffs and their fourth quarter fake punt.
