per Pat:
The Rose Bowl was played without teams from the Big Ten and Pac-10 for the first time in 55 years on Jan. 3, 2002, when Miami (37) and Nebraska (14) played for the national championship.
All you have to know about the current Rose Bowl: Urban Meyer has been the dominant force in the Big Ten in seven seasons at Ohio State, and his Buckeyes will be in Pasadena on New Year’s for the first time Tuesday.
I’m not complaining about the playoff and previous attempts to crown a champion on the field.
I’m simply lamenting how great it was when there was nothing more in the football universe for a Big Ten team than playing in the Rose Bowl, in the world’s greatest stadium, in a setting as plush and spectacular as only could be imagined on the old Philco.
