USC topped No. 4-ranked Michigan 28-14 in the Rose Bowl and claimed the National Championship voted on by the media in the AP poll. It was the first national title for the Trojans since 1978 and the first for the Pac-10 since Washington in 1991. Washington State defeated No. 5-ranked Texas 28-20 in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. The victory gave the Cougars their third consecutive 10-win season. CALIFORNIA (Insight Bowl) and OREGON STATE (Las Vegas Bowl) also chalked up postseason wins.
