WIM, the Rose Bowl had no choice in 2004. Â It HAD to take Texas. Â By the rules in place at that time, the #4 team received an automatic at-large berth. Â In the final regular season poll, Texas passed Cal to finish #4 in the BCS. Â
The Rose Bowl will always take a Pac 10 or Big 10 school if it has a choice. Â But we are a long way from Stanford being eligible to be considered an at-large team. Â Too many games yet to be played.
