The 2018 Rose Bowl is set, with Pac-12 Champion Washington taking on Ohio State.
The Huskies are making their first Rose Bowl appearance since 2000, while Ohio State returns to Pasadena for the first time since 2009. It's remarkable that OSU has won the Big Ten 11 times since 1996, but will be making just its third Rose Bowl appearance in that span.
The Buckeyes just missed the College Football Playoff, coming in at No. 6. Oklahoma got the nod instead.

Ohio State has missed a BCS or New Year's Six bowl just once since 2005 — 2011 when Luke Fickell was the interim coach.
