The Stanford Cardinal are headed to their third Rose Bowl in four years with a tremendous win over USC on Saturday at Levis Stadium in Santa Clara 45-37. The Cardinal didn’t make the playoffs but their good enough to get to the roses.

Clemson (13-0) is in the playoffs after having a perfect season and getting a win over North Carolina (11-2) 45-37. Clemson one of the very few schools to have a perfect season and well deserving of a big bowl decision.

Michigan State (12-1) who just edged out Iowa (12-1) 16-13 in a close that sure will bring the Spartans to a big bowl game as well.
