* A drought so long that every team in the Big Ten â including Northwestern, the leagueâs longtime doormat, and Nebraska, which didnât even join the Big Ten until last year â has been to the Rose Bowl since Minnesotaâs last appearance. Big Ten team was in the Rose Bowl*, the SEC champ was in the Sugar Bowl, and a highly-regarded LSU team travelled to Miami. More along, nothing to see here. * The 1962 Rose Bowl would be the first telecast in color. S ince then, the Rose Bowl has changed in numerous ways.
USC has appeared in an unprecedented 32 Rose Bowls, where it has a 24-8 mark (.750) (not including 1 appearance and 1 loss later vacated due to NCAA penalty; original record: 33 Rose Bowls, 24-9, .718). That is not only the most Rose Bowl wins of any team, but also the most wins by a school in a single bowl. USC has won 11 of its last 13 Rose Bowls (not including 1 appearance and 1 loss later vacated due to NCAA penalty; original record: 11 of its last 14). USC is the only team to win 3 consecutive Rose Bowls (2007-08-09). USC twice played in 4 consecutive Rose Bowl games (1967 to 1970 and 2006 to 2009); Ohio State (1973 to 1976) is the only other team to have done so.
