Bowl Games
The 1962-1963 Bowl Season is notable for the 1963 Rose Bowl. This game is the first #1 versus #2 bowl game pairing in the history of the AP Poll and the UPI Poll, both singly and jointly. However, neither poll published rankings after the bowl games at this time, so USC was already the season-ending #1 and would remain so, regardless of the outcome of the game.
