For the second time in four years, the Ohio State football team will be headed out to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. It’s not where the Buckeyes wanted to be because of the bar being set at the College Football Playoff or bust, but it’s still an iconic stadium and game full of history and tradition, in a setting second to none. If you’ve been there, then you know.
Of course, it won’t be the Buckeyes’ first trip to the Los Angeles area. OSU has a storied and rich tradition in Pasadena, trailing only USC (34) and Michigan (20) in the number of appearances in the “Granddaddy of them All.”
January 1, will mark the 16th appearance at the Rose Bowl for the program, and we thought it’d be fun to run through all of those moments through the years, who Ohio State played, and the results of each game at the foot of the picturesque San Gabriel mountains.
Here is a walk-through of each and every appearance Ohio State has had in the Rose Bowl and how it all played out.
