The Ohio State Buckeyes are headed to the Rose Bowl for the first time since the 2009 season.
OSU won the Big Ten Championship Saturday night with a 45-24 win over Northwestern in Indianapolis.
However, Sunday the College Football Playoff Committee voted the Buckeyes No. 6 in the nation, behind Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Georgia.
That may have been a bit disappointing for some, although not necessarily surprising.
That means the Buckeyes will head west to Pasadena for a traditional revival of the Granddaddy of Them All, pitting the Big Ten champion Bucks against Pac-12 champion Washington.
It will be the first Rose Bowl trip for OSU head coach Urban Meyer, who grew up revering the tradition on New Year’s Day.
Sunday afternoon, Meyer met with the media to discuss the season, and what lays ahead for his team.
