Questions Of The Day
Name the Big Ten teams USC has not played in the Rose Bowl (Penn State will not count because the Trojans played the Nittany Lions in the first Rose Bowl before they joined the Big Ten).
Also, how many times has USC played Michigan in the regular season?
ANSWER: Big Ten Opponents USC has not played in the Rose Bowl: Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota. USC played Michigan twice in the regular season.
Comments
USC has not played Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and, if you want to get really picky, the University of Chicago, in the Rose Bowl.
USC has only played Michigan twice in the regular season, in 1957-8, losing both times.

Minnesota and Illinois; SC has never played Michigan during the regular season (unless it was pre-1960 sometime)

Ill, Minn, and Iowa.
All Big Ten teams have played in a Rose Bowl Game at one time or another. Which Big Ten teams have never won a RB game? (hint: they did play USC in a RB game)
