The 2016 Rose Bowl isn't one of the College Football Playoff semifinals, but it's still a huge game. The Stanford Cardinal, led by fifth-year senior Kevin Hogan and Heisman Trophy finalist Christian McCaffrey, take on the almost CFP-eligible Iowa Hawkeyes in Pasadena, California, on New Year's Day.
How will Hogan finish his legacy at Stanford? Will McCaffrey dazzle in his first game since being snubbed for the Heisman? Can the Hawkeyes put their disappointing loss to the Michigan State Spartans in the Big Ten Championship Game behind them?
