Chuck Neinas has a nickname for Monday’s Rose Bowl semifinal between Georgia and Oklahoma.

“The Supreme Court Bowl,” said Neinas, the longtime college football power broker.

It’s all because of precedent. The last time these two storied programs shared such a big national stage, they shook the foundation of the sport for decades to come.

But it didn’t happen on the field. Monday’s matchup actually will be the first time the two have faced each other in more than 1,200 games apiece since the 1890s.
