The Rose Bowl is one of the five major bowl games that comprise the BCS. The Rose Bowl is commonly referred to as "The Granddaddy of Them All". The Rose Bowl game is played in the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California every January. And unless the Rose Bowl was the home of the BCS Championship Game, then the Rose Bowl has always played on New Year's Day.

Over its 100 years, the Rose Bowl has produced numerous thrilling moments that have helped shape the history of the college football. From Wisconsin's narrow 21-16 victory over UCLA in 1994 to earn their programs first Rose Bowl trophy. To Southern Cal's dramatic comeback victory over upstart Northwestern in the 1996 game. When the Northwestern Wildcats were making their first visit in 50 years to the Rose Bowl, and were the huge emotional favorite. To Texas winning the 2005 Rose Bowl over Michigan on a last second field goal by Dusty Mangum. A field goal that would help propel Texas in to the next season and a return visit to Pasadena, where they defeated the mighty USC Trojans to win the BCS National Title. That 2006 Rose Bowl matchup has been called one of the greatest games in the history of college football.

The Rose Bowl has been played in Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena every year, except one, since it opened in 1922. The one exception was 1942 when the game was moved to Wallace Wade Stadium in North Carolina. The Rose Bowl stadium was opened in 1922, and the stadium has a capacity of over 90,000 football fans. The UCLA Bruins play their regular season home games at the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl is a large bowl, so it provides consistently good sight lines from everywhere in the stadium.

The first Rose Bowl was played in 1902. The Rose Bowl is placed in conjunction with the Tournament of Roses Parade, which is a huge parade watched by over a million people every year. The Rose Bowl has had just a few main sponsors over the year, including; AT&T and Citi. The Pac 10 and Big 10 conferences both have conference tie-ins to the Rose Bowl.

The Rose Bowl Game is an annual American college football bowl game, usually played on January 1 (New Year's Day) at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.[1] When New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, the game is then played on the following Monday. The Rose Bowl is nicknamed "The Granddaddy of Them All" because it is the oldest bowl game. It was first played in 1902, and continuously since 1916. Since 1945, it has been the highest attended college football bowl game.[4] It is a part of the Tournament of Roses "America's New Year Celebration". In 2002 and 2006 (2001 and 2005 seasons), the Rose Bowl game was also the BCS National Championship Game. In the current BCS alignment, the Rose Bowl will host the designated Big Ten and Pacific-10 conference representatives unless they are involved in the national championship game. Rose Bowl game representative teams from the Big Ten and Pacific-10 conferences are chosen by the specific rules for each conference. Tiebreaker rules exist when multiple teams tie for the conference championship.[5][6] Except in the years when the Rose Bowl served as the BCS National Championship Game, the Rose Bowl Game has continued to be played in the afternoon. (Starting with the 2006 season (2007 game), there has been a separate BCS National Championship Game.) In 2010, the Tournament of Roses was the host the Citi BCS National Championship Game between the University of Alabama Crimson Tide against the University of Texas Longhorns in a separate game that was held on January 7 with Alabama emerging victorious 37-21. The 96th Rose Bowl Game was held on January 1, 2010, a week before the championship game there in Pasadena the Rose Bowl was still played a traditional time between The Ohio State University Buckeyes and the University of Oregon Ducks, with the Buckeyes winning 26-17.
Rose bow Tickets - History Originally titled the "Tournament East-West football game," the first Rose Bowl was played on January 1, 1902, starting the tradition of New Year's Day bowl games. The inaugural game featured Fielding Yost's dominating 1901 Michigan team, representing the East, which crushed a previously 3-1-2 team from Stanford University, representing the West, by a score of 49–0 after Stanford quit in the third quarter. Michigan finished the season 11–0 and was considered the national champion. Yost had been Stanford's coach the previous year. The game was so lopsided that for the next 15 years, the Tournament of Roses officials ran chariot races, ostrich races, and other various events instead of football.[7] But, on New Year's Day 1916 football returned to stay as The State College of Washington defeated Brown University in the first annual Rose Bowl.

Since 1998, with the creation of the Bowl Championship Series, team selection for the Rose Bowl is now tied to the other three BCS bowls, although in any given year the Rose Bowl still attempts, if possible, to maintain the traditional Pac-10 versus Big Ten format. Twice in this era, the Rose Bowl has served as the BCS championship game. The 2002 game served as the BCS championship game between the BCS #1 ranked Miami, then a member of the Big East Conference, and the BCS #2 ranked Nebraska of the Big 12 Conference. The Nebraska selection as the BCS #2 team was controversial because Oregon was ranked #2 in both the AP and Coaches Polls, while Nebraska was ranked #4 in both polls and did not play in its conference championship game (#3 Colorado, who played Oregon in that year's Fiesta Bowl, did and won the Big 12's automatic bid to the BCS). This prevented a West Coast team playing in the Rose Bowl for the first time, and it also marked the first match up since 1946 to not feature the traditional pairing of Pac-10 vs. Big Ten teams. The 2006 Rose Bowl game featured offensive powerhouses Texas, riding a 19-game winning streak, and USC, which entered the game with a 34-game winning streak and 2 Heisman Trophy winners. Texas won 41–38. The game's television viewership was the highest for college football contest since the 1987 Fiesta Bowl between Penn State and Miami. On two other occasions during the BCS era, Rose Bowl participation has expanded beyond the Big Ten and Pac-10. The 2003 game featured the first appearance by Oklahoma, who was chosen for the game after Big Ten co-champion Iowa was selected by the Orange Bowl (Ohio State, who had shared the conference championship with Iowa, played for the national championship and won). The 2005 game featured Texas of the Big 12 Conference, selected, amid some controversy, over the University of California at Berkeley of the Pac-10, marking the second time a West Coast team did not make the Rose Bowl. The University of California at Berkeley has had the longest drought not appearing in a Rose Bowl since January 1, 1959; not winning the Rose Bowl since January 1, 1938. The 2004 game is also noteworthy. In this game, USC defeated Michigan, 28–14, thus earning the top ranking in the AP Poll and a share of the national championship with BCS champion LSU (USC, despite being #1 in both the Coaches' and AP polls, did not qualify for the BCS championship game because of their standing in the BCS system). Beginning with the 2011 Rose Bowl though the 2014 Rose Bowl, the qualifying system for the Rose Bowl will change. The Big Ten and Pac-10 champions are still contractually obligated to play in the game and will unless one of those two teams is to play in the BCS National Championship Game. The first time this happens, should it happen, the other automatic bid must go to one of the champions of the non-BCS conferences, provided that one of those team is able to meet the criteria the BCS has set for these schools. Should one of those teams fail to qualify for the BCS either the Big East champion, a BCS conference at-large team, or Notre Dame would take the bid.
