Rose Bowl traditions may change, but Oregon’s matchup with Ohio State has the makings of a classic

Associated Press  

PASADENA, Calif. — Not even the Granddaddy of Them All can remain unchanged by the 12-team College Football Playoff. 6 Ohio State arrived in Southern California only three days before their showdown Wednesday in the 111th edition of the Rose Bowl Game — and both teams firmly declare they’re on a business trip, since this beloved postseason event is now a CFP quarterfinal hopefully leading to two more games. “When you’re at the Rose Bowl, you’re on sensory overload,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said Tuesday. But that hasn’t left my head.” Oregon went on to win the Big Ten championship in its debut season, while Ohio State didn’t even make the league title game after getting upset by Michigan. They’re prepared.” Big shoes to fill Buckeyes freshman receiver Jeremiah Smith is already among the nation’s top playmakers, and he will face Oregon’s formidable defense in his first bowl game.
