USC football and the Rose Bowl has been a very common occurrence. In fact, the Trojans have dominated the New Year’s spectacular with 24 wins. The next highest win total after USC’s record is Michigan’s at eight.
This year USC won its way back to the Rose Bowl with eight-straight victories, catching a break from the College Football Playoff Committee with the No. 9 ranking. That last playoff ranking was just good enough for the Trojans to claim the Rose Bowl berth over No. 10 Colorado.
USC football hasn’t always been that fortunate with past selection committees.
