Trivia

USC is the first team to win 5 Pac-10 championships in a row. However, some disagree with this statement, because in 2002, the Washington State Cougars shared the Pac-10 title with USC, and was the Pac-10's repersentative in the Rose Bowl, and that was before the new Pac-10 schedules that has each team play every other team.
