Rose Bowl wants in on the playoff

  • From ESPN's Joe Schad:

    Kevin Ash of Rose Bowl: "We want the traditonal matchup but we will adjust to stay relevant. We've shown some flexibility."

    Or, Rose Bowl would love to be an anchor for any Final Four game involving Pac-12 or Big Ten top seed

    Rose Bowl willing and able to host without particularly lengthy notice; but does BCS want advantages of predetermined Final Four cities?

  • I'd tell them either give up your traditional matchup or you aren't a part of the playoff. So sick of how the Rose Bowl thinks the world of college football should revolve around it and actually thinks they be a part of the playoff where the members of the game are predetermined before the season even starts

  • I personally think that the Big 10 knew that eventually they would have to concede on having the four best teams in the playoff (which as I understood was the point of having this discussion in the first place). All of this posturing is being done to have the Rose Bowl be one involved in at least one of the playoff games.

    To me this is okay. However, I will not be happy if it becomes predetermined that the National Title game will always be at the Rose Bowl. That is something Slive won't allow to be happen.
