1952 Illinois, 40; Stanford, 7
1952 Rose Bowl, Illini Keep Up Big Ten's Rose Bowl Dominance, The Illini swept through the 1951 season with only a blip, that being a scoreless tie in Columbus against Ohio State. And when they got to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl, the fun continued, as the helpless Stanford Indians became the Pacific Coast Conference's sixth straight victim since the adoption of the Big Nine vs PCC format.

1927 Alabama, 7; Stanford, 7 1927 Rose Bowl Battle Of Unbeatens Keeps Them Both That Way, The Tide was on a 20-game winning streak that included a thrilling 20-19 defeat of unbeaten Washington in the previous year's Rose Bowl. This year's opponent was Pop Warner's mighty Stanford eleven, which had swept through its ten game schedule without a blemish. After one of the toughest battles in bowl game history, it wound up in a standstill, and the Bama Boys remained the talk of the country.

1934 Alabama, 29; Stanford, 13
1935 Rose Bowl, Thomas's "Greatest Team" Leaves Stanford In The Dust, Coach Frank Thomas called his 1934 Alabama squad "my greatest team," and if you look at both the results (10-0-0, average score 32 to 5) and his roster, you can certainly see why. Among its members were All-American tailback Dixie Howell, All-American tackle Bill Lee, College AND Pro Football Hall of Famer Don Hutson---and, oh, some kid from Arkansas who lined up opposite Hutson at the other end---fellow named Bryant. We think they called him "Bear."
