USC has a remarkable record in bowl games. The Trojans have the nation’s third highest bowl winning percentage (.651) among the 67 schools that have made at least 10 bowl appearances (behind only Utah’s .700 and Georgia Tech’s .667). USC is just 1 win behind Alabama for most bowl victories, 29 to 28. Troy’s 43 bowl appearances rank fourth behind only Alabama (52), Tennessee (45) and Texas (44). USC once won 9 consecutive bowl games (the 1923-30-32-33-39-40-44-45 Rose Bowls and 1924 Christmas Festival); only Florida State has won more in a row (11). USC’s overall post-season record is 28-15. The Trojans were a bowl participant each year they were eligible from 1972 to 1990. Troy has appeared in an unprecedented 29 Rose Bowls, where it has a 21-8 mark. That’s not only the most Rose Bowl wins of any team, but also the most wins by a school in a single bowl. USC has won 8 of its last 10 Rose Bowls. USC has also appeared in 11 other bowls—the Christmas Festival, Liberty Bowl, Bluebonnet Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Aloha Bowl, Florida Citrus Bowl, Sun (John Hancock) Bowl (twice), Freedom Bowl (twice), Cotton Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl and (twice).
