No, no surprise, except that Iowa fans are snapping up Rose Bowl tickets at a greater pace than, say Alabama and MSU fans are nabbing Cotton Bowl tickets.

I wonder how much of that is them saving up for the NCG. I guess it's also that, like you say, for Pac and B1G schools the Rose Bowl is just... different. I remember Wilner saying a few times that many older Stanford fans probably prefer a Rose Bowl to a CFP/BCSCG berth, and he's almost certainly right.
