Rose Bowl Game

Rose Bowl Game is an annual American college football bowl game, usually played on January 1 (New Year's Day) at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California.[2] When New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, the game is played on Monday, January 2 (14 times now). The Rose Bowl is nicknamed "The Granddaddy of Them All" because it is the oldest bowl game. It was first played in 1902, and has been played annually 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", which also includes the historic Tournament of Roses Parade.

Beginning with the 2016 game, the official name for sponsorship is the "Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual". Vizio was the previous sponsor, since 2012; prior sponsors included AT&T, Sony, and Citi. In 2016, the game will also be officially known as the "College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual".

The Rose Bowl Game has traditionally hosted the conference champions from the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences (or their predecessors), but due to its past and present membership in several consortiums that seek to determine a national champion in Division I FBS, in 2002, the Rose Bowl began to infrequently deviate from its traditional match-up in order to facilitate championship games. In 2002 and 2006 (2001 and 2005 football seasons), under the Bowl Championship Series system, the Rose Bowl was designated as its championship game, and hosted the top two teams determined by the BCS system. Beginning in 2016, the Rose Bowl is part of the College Football Playoff system, and will host one of its semi-final games every three years. During non-Playoff years, the Rose Bowl will revert to a Pac-12/Big Ten matchup.

8:32 p.m. ET -- Florida State punted back to Oregon, bringing up a point we haven't addressed here yet: there have only been three punts in this game so far, and just one by Oregon. Obviously, FSU's turnovers and Oregon's touchdowns have done of a fine job flipping the possession between teams, but not a lot of punts needed.

Now for those of you who enjoy your Odell Beckham Jr. memes...

ESPN Rose Bowl

ESPN Rose Bowl 2017 is at it again with their way-too-early predictions, this time they try their hand and predicting the match-ups for the 2017 Bowl Season and the College Football Playoff. Yesterday we looked at ESPN’s Mark Schlabach and his Top 25, where your UCLA football team was ranked #11. This time, the Bruins are getting a little less love with bowl projections.

For these predictions, Schlabach along with Brett McMurphy, listed every potential bowl match-up, including UCLA and 7 other Pac-12 teams. Here is how they predict the Bruins will do among the Conference of Champions next Bowl Season. The Cotton Bowl will serve as one of the semi-final College Football Playoff games.

Though it is possible that the Bruins could drop to a lower bowl after taking a beating from one of the toughest divisions in college football, I have a different opinion. and it starts with the #BruinRevolution.

Everything head coach Jim Mora has gotten his hands on since he got to Westwood has turned to gold. Because of that, UCLA Football will field a team that will be the best in Mora’s short tenure. That will then result in the Bruins getting to the Cotton Bowl or the Rose Bowl.
