Rose Bowl Game

**The Rose Bowl Game** is an American college football bowl game at the Rose Bowl (stadium) in Pasadena, California.  It is known as the "granddaddy of them all" because it has been played every year since 1916.  It is almost always played on January 1 after Pasadena's Rose Parade.  For many years, the two teams who played were the winner of the Pac-10 (a football conference of colleges on the West Coast) and the winner of the Big 10 (a football conference of colleges in the Midwest).  In 1998, the game became part of the Bowl Championship Series.  USC has won the game 24 times.

denotes BCS National Championship Game

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the 1942 game was moved to Duke University's Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham, North Carolina, as officials were wary of allowing such a large crowd to congregate anywhere on the West Coast due to World War II security concerns.
