The 104th Rose Bowl Game, as a semifinal for the College Football Playoff ( CFP ), matched the Oklahoma Sooners and the Georgia Bulldogs, two of the top four teams selected by the system 's selection committee, to compete for a spot at the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship game to be played on January 8, 2018 at Mercedes - Benz Stadium. It was one of the 2017 -- 18 bowl games that concluded the 2017 FBS football season. Sponsored by the Northwestern Mutual financial services organization, the game was officially known as the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual. The game was televised on ESPN and ESPN Deportes, and broadcast on ESPN Radio and XM Satellite Radio, with the kickoff at 5 p.m. ET ( 2 p.m. local time ). The Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association was the organizer of the game.

The theme of 2018 Rose Parade was `` Making A Difference '' with actor Gary Sinise as its Grand Marshal. Pre-game activities Pre-game activities were held at the Rose Bowl parking lots and at Brookside Golf Course. The 2017 Rose Bowl Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was held at the Rose Bowl Stadium Lot K on December 30, 2017 from 12 : 00 to 1 : 30 PM. The 2017 Class members were Mack Brown ( Texas ), Cade McNown ( UCLA ), Charles Woodson ( Michigan ) and Dr. Charles West ( Washington & Jefferson ), represented by his daughter. Teams In the 2018 Rose Bowl, the # 2 - ranked Oklahoma Sooners, champions of the Big 12 Conference, faced the # 3 - ranked Georgia Bulldogs, champions of the Southeastern Conference. Traditionally, the Rose Bowl pits the winners of the Big Ten Conference and Pac - 12 Conference ; however, when the Rose Bowl is a CFP semifinal ( every three years ), any teams may be selected. The last time the Rose Bowl was used as a CFP semifinal game, which occurred during the 2014 season, Pac - 12 champion Oregon was selected for and won the game. Both this season 's Big Ten champion, Ohio State, and Pac - 12 champion, USC, played in the Cotton Bowl. In addition, the Big 12 and SEC champions normally would meet in the Sugar Bowl, however, that game is being used as the other CFP semifinal this year and like the Rose Bowl, any team may be selected for the Sugar Bowl when it is a CFP semifinal. The matchups for the Rose Bowl and the other semifinal, the 2018 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, were geographically selected to ensure the top two teams do not play in `` road environments ''. More than one team from the same conference may participate in the game, and avoiding rematches was not a selection factor. Georgia won their only previous Rose Bowl appearance when their 1942 team, which claims a national championship, beat the Pacific Coast Conference ( predecessor to the Pac - 12 ) champion UCLA 9 -- 0 in 1943, a matchup which occurred prior to the Big Nine - PCC agreement. Oklahoma won their only previous Rose Bowl appearance when their 2002 team beat the then Pac - 10 champion Washington State 34 -- 13 in 2003, a matchup which occurred since Big Ten champion Ohio State was selected for the Fiesta Bowl, which was being used as that year 's BCS National Championship Game, and Oklahoma was selected to replace them. This was the first meeting between these two teams. Game summary Oklahoma started off with quickly controlling the game. The Sooners led 31 - 17 at halftime but the Bulldogs scored fourteen unanswered points in the third quarter. The game went back and forth in the last quarter. The Bulldogs came back and with fifty - five seconds left in the game, Nick Chubb rushed for two yards for a game tying touchdown. Baker Mayfield and the Sooners could not score again in regulation so the game went to overtime, the first Rose Bowl to do so. The Sooners won the overtime coin toss and elected to play defense first. The teams traded field goals in the first overtime, and the game was sent into a second overtime. The Bulldogs blocked Seibert 's attempted field goal and Sony Michel rushed in for a touchdown, winning the game for the Bulldogs.
