Urban Meyer has never been to the Rose Bowl.
And after Sunday's announcement which paired his Ohio State team with Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl, the Buckeyes head coach will wait at least another year before getting that opportunity.
"Never been to the Rose, but no, there is no disappointment," Meyer said Sunday. "You start talking about that level of football, that level of bowl game and that level of an opponent you're going to play, you just get locked on and put laser lights on to where you're going."
With Michigan State defeating Iowa late Saturday night and advancing to the College Football Playoff, many thought Ohio State had an opportunity to still play in the Rose Bowl as the Big Ten's representative.
