That's a very good example...That was the year USC blew Illinois off the field and Georgia destroyed Hawaii, right? Love the "tradition" of the Rose Bowl, but wouldn't mind seeing different teams, I'm sure Crypt will pipe in with "Ohio St beat Oregon this year", but the Big 10 has been dismal this past decade in the Rose Bowl.
