What are the exact rules for determination of the Pac-10 representative to the Rose Bowl game?

Question
Assuming a year when neither Pac-10 nor Big-10 are ranked #1 or #2 and the Rose Bowl is not hosting the national championship game, etc.

I know conference record is the first criteria but what are the tie-breakers that follow? An authoritative source link would be ideal.
To clarify: for example, this year USC and Cal tied in conference record at 7-2, but USC got the invite because they won head-to-head (so head-to-head is the 2nd determinant). Perhaps now that the Pac-10 teams all play each other now, that’s the end of it. I would like to see the official rules, though.

Answered by FIGHT ON!
the pac 10 (and big 10) champion gets an automatic bid to the rose bowl, regardless of national ranking. in the event the pac 10 champ plays in the title game (and the the title game isnt the rose bowl) then the rose bowl has the option to take the PAC 10 runner up or invite any other school theyd like. tradition dictates theyd take the runner up to play the big 10 champ.

if two teams tie for example UCLA and USC if USC was the last team to UCLA would go because they went the most recent

Pac 10 Champ always meets Big 10 Champ, unless the Rose Bowl is selected as the sight for the BCS Championship. This year is an exception because OSU is playing for the BCS Championship in the Fiesta Bowl. Michigan gets the call as #2 in the Big 10.

Starting this season, all Pac 10 teams played all 9 other conference teams. So the first tiebreaker is head to head results.
usc and Cal both finished 7-2 in conference, but USC beat Cal 23-9, so USC goes to the Rose Bowl.

Calvin did try to link the four jets coming over even including stands, band, and shot of jets on the big screen, but, something messed up. Mine works.

Who invented the option play in American Football?

Question
I have heard that it was invented by a relative of mine for the 1929 Rose Bowl. Can this be confirmed? Sources?
I don’t know which type of option play. I was just told that it was first run in the 1929 Rose Bowl.
Answered by Anon28
What type of option? HB options WR / TE options and QB options are very different. I don’t know how to verify this anyhow.
Answered by bigvol662004
There are several option offenses: veer, single wing, double wing, wing-T, wishbone, etc. As far as who invented the first option-based attack, I can’t say.
