Rose Bowl bows to pressue

Not sure if this will mean anything, considering how inept the Pac-10 and Big 10 have been as of late, but the Rose Bowl has announced that beginning in 2010, any time the Rose Bowl loses one of their two automatic qualifiers (remember, the Rose Bowl has contracts to get Pac 10 and Big 10 Champions to play - assuming the Pac 10 or Big 10 Champ is not in the BCS National Championship Game), a team from a non-automatic BCS conference (ACC, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, Pac 10, Big East) will automatically get into the Rose Bowl.

For example - if USC goes undefeated next year, they will obviously not play in the Rose Bowl Game on New Years Day. Say TCU finishes undefeated and becomes the BCS buster of 2009. TCU gets the automatic bid to the Rose Bowl to play whoever the Big 10 champion will be.

In that specific matchup - I like TCU.
