100th Rose Bowl Delivers

Now that was worth waiting for. The Rose Bowl was once the be all and end all of the college football post-season and while that is no longer the case it was fitting that the 100th edition of this glorious game delivered a compelling match-up that returns luster to the game. Michigan State also returned a great deal of respect to the ragged Big Ten, which needs as many big wins and big programs as possible. The Spartans have a very favorable conference schedule for 2014 and should remain a highly-ranked team. A September road trip to Eugene may put them behind the eight ball early but they'll be more competitive in that game than others who have made that trip. After all, Stanford created the template for beating the Ducks.
