The Rose Bowl is hosting one of the national semi-finals contests, but had it not, the match-up of Penn State versus Washington would have made a compelling choice under the annual Big Ten / Pac-12 system. Both teams have a great deal of respect for one another. Also, each team is a near mirror-image in terms of offensive skill players and shut-down defense. The Playstation Fiesta Bowl has all the making of another classic bowl game!
Game: Playstation Fiesta Bowl
Teams: No. 9 Penn State Nittany Lions (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten) vs. No.
