First up, the #2 Oklahoma Sooners (12-1) face the #3 Georgia Bulldogs (12-1) in the Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual®, the first of two college football semifinals this New Year's Day. The winner moves on to National Championship Game in Atlanta, Georgia on January, 8th. This is the "Grandaddy of Them All" and should make for another fantastic Rose Bowl, as 5 of the last 7 have been, last year's USC/Penn St. instant classic being arguably the best of them all.
I've always had a particular soft spot for the Rose Bowl, living just 15 minutes from the picturesque venue.
