To expand a little more...
In '42 UGA finished the regular season 10-1 with wins over #3 bama (interestingly enough, at grant field. Idk why) and #2 GT in our finale. Only loss was to auburn. Afterwards, we shutout #13 UCLA in the rose bowl.
In '42 OSU finished the regular season 9-1 with wins over #13 and #4 and a loss to #6 wisconsin. They did not even play in a bowl game.

That's because Big 10 teams weren't allowed to play in bowls until the 46 season (with the exception of Michigan in the first Rose). The myth that the Rose chose UGA over Ohio St is just that...a myth.
