Rose Bowl records of current Big 10 Teams

Up until 1970 or so the B1G had a no repeat policy on the Rose Bowl. Skews the stats somewhat. USC has twice as many appearances as tOSU for example
Then the BCS further obliterated the meaning
-
I forgot all about that

Didn't the Pac-10 also have the tiebreaker where who hadn't gone the longest got to go? I think that came into play in 1995 where UW tied for winning the conference and got sent to El Paso. Seeing stuff like this and historical draft numbers are kind of depressing because it reminds that until the Willingham years, UW was borderline Top 10 nationally in a lot of metrics.

1995 USC had the better overall record which broke the tie that resulted from the tie game
Losing to Oregon coast UW the Rose Bowl that year
The B1G had the longest not there tiebreaker as well. Its how Indiana got there in 67
-
Yeah, but then Lambright followed it up by getting caught trying to pitch UW over Oregon for the Cotton Bowl, right? I was wondering why UW didn't end up in the Holiday Bowl and it looks like the Pac-10 didn't get slotted there until 96 which seems odd.

The 1995 co-conference championship was the high water mark @puppylove_sugarsteel
It was also the most frustration home game season in school history.

I wish the Pac would have had and kept the policy of "The school that's had the longest drought gets to go to the rose bowl this year!" I think it would actually be funnier that way with Beav and Coug and Cal being forced to go play Urban Meyer Ohio State.
-
huh. Indiana only been to 1 Rose Bowl

Thanks Taft!

UW never had to face Maryland or Rutgers in the Rose Bowl, though. @Sandra6
