Though Ohio State's 14 trips to the Rose Bowl make it the most-played bowl game for the program by far, the Buckeyes haven't exactly lit it up in Pasadena, posting a 7-7 all-time record.
The most recent appearance occurred in 2010 as the Buckeyes took down Oregon and the most meaningful came in 1969 as Ohio State beat No. 2 Southern Cal for the national championship.
The '69 win moved the Buckeyes to 4-1 in the Rose Bowl to that point but the 70s and 80s saw Ohio State go a combined 1-6 before order was restored with a 1997 victory over No.
