There is no more hallowed ground in college football than that of the Rose Bowl. Nestled snuggly underneath the San Gabriel Mountains, the historic landmark is the home to some of the sport’s greatest triumphs—and most memorable defeats.
It has been almost a full decade since one of the most well known of those games, the 2006 Rose Bowl, took place in the venue that so richly warrants such outings. To this day, Texas Footballs’ epic victory over the USC Trojans remains the most-watched title game ever and is a mainstay at the top of every list of the greatest college football games ever played.
