Alabama has won more Rose Bowls than any team not in the PAC or Big 10 (or however many these days), which are the 2 conferences that played yearly in the bowl for 50+ years. In fact, Alabama won the last Rose Bowl before that yearly PAC vs Big 10 matchup started.

I understand why they want a west coast vs east coast guranteed matchup for tv sets. But Bama made them get that contract.
Then later I learned that while fighting over money in that contract in 1961, Bama had one chance and went and won it.

It was because of Alabama they closed it off. They said they were tired of getting beat by teams playing "hillbilly ball."
