[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 975365, member: 6771"] I might be inclined to agree with you, though I (obviously) wasn't there. Perhaps as the US south began to prosper post-WWII and southern media began to be heard, and games played, more teams were awarded the opportunity to play for the brass ring in the post-season bowls. However, the Rose Bowl was perhaps the biggest reason that the southern teams never got much of a look until the other bowls took shape in the decade prior to 1950. The Rose Bowl has been for almost 100 years a showcase of Midwest (B10) vs. West Coast (P8-10-12) "champions." We were passed over in 1952 by Michigan State. I believe I have read where CBD was desperately wanting to play MSU in a bowl that season but was denied. [/QUOTE]
