The Rose Bowl is the home field for UCLA and is the host field for the BCS Championship Game 1/7/10.

BCS Championship - 2012 Rose Bowl Game 1-1 was released on:

USA: January 2012

USC plays in the Rose Bowl every other season when the Trojans play the UCLA Bruins and UCLA is scheduled as the home team.

UCLA uses the Rose Bowl as its home stadium.

USC last played in the Rose Bowl Game on January 1, 2009 when the Trojans defeated Penn State, 38-24.

It is important to note that the "Rose Bowl" is the stadium and the "Rose Bowl Game" is the college football bowl game played at the Rose Bowl on either January 1 or 2 of each year.

As of the 2008 Rose Bowl, the University of Hawaii has never played in a Rose Bowl game.

No. It's the oldest bowl game (and sometimes called "the granddaddy of them all"), but it's just another bowl game. The Rose Bowl is also the name of the stadium in Pasadena, California, that hosts the Rose Bowl game.

Traditionally, the Rose Bowl game matched the champions of the Big Ten conference and the Pacific Ten conference, but since the onset of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), that is no longer necessarily the case. The BCS rotates the national championship game among four stadiums -- the Rose Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Sugar Bowl. Each year, there is a bowl game at each of those locations, plus there is an additional game held at one of those locations. The Rose Bowl therefore hosts the national championship game every fourth year (as well as the Rose Bowl game itself every year).
