ROSE BOWL INFORMATION:
The Rose Bowl is an annual American college football game, usually played on January 1 (New Years Day) at the stadium of the same name in Pasadena, California. In 2006, New Years Day falls on a Sunday, so whenever this happens, the game is then played on the following Monday, except in cases when this game is played as the BCS National Championship Game.

The game was first played in 1902, pitting Michigan against Stanford, but after Michigan's 49-0 win over Stanford, Tournament of Roses officials did not stage another game until 1916. The Tournament also includes a parade with floats covered with flower petals. Before the Rose Bowl stadium was built, in 1923, games were played in Pasadena's Tournament Park, approximately 3 miles southeast of the current stadium.

In its early years (except during World War I), the game always featured a team (not necessarily the conference champion) from the Pacific Coast Conference (ancestor to today's Pac 10), as well as a team invited from further east. Beginning with the 1947 game, the game's participants were established as the champions of what is now the Big Ten and Pacific 10 Conferences. Since 1998, however, with the creation of the Bowl Championship Series system, team selection for the Rose Bowl is now tied into the other three BCS Bowls, although in any given year the Rose Bowl still attempts, if possible, to maintain the traditional Pac-10-Big Ten format. The 2002 game of Nebraska (Big 12 Conference) and Miami (Big East Conference) was the first since 1946 to not feature the traditional pairing. As one of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) bowl games (the others being the Sugar, Fiesta, and Orange Bowls), the Rose Bowl hosts the national championship game once every four years under the BCS system.

The impact of the BCS on the Rose Bowl matchups has resulted in the initial participation by several teams, even in years when the BCS national championship game is not contested there. The 2003 Rose Bowl game featured the first appearance by Oklahoma. The 2005 bowl featured the University of Michigan against the University of Texas, who bumped California, a Pac-10 school, from the final at-large bid. Despite the controversy, this was a milestone for Texas as it marked the first meeting between the two teams, and also the first appearance - and victory - by Texas in the Rose Bowl.
