Individual Game Notes

1942 Rose Bowl

Due to concerns following the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the January 1, 1942 game was moved to Duke University's Durham Stadium in Durham, North Carolina, as officials were wary of allowing such a large crowd to congregate anywhere on the West Coast due to World War II security threats. This remains the only Rose Bowl Game played outside of its home in Pasadena, California.

Notes

i. ^ ^{a b} The Pineapple Bowl was not sanctioned by the NCAA, and is sometimes discounted from bowl records.^[3]

ii. ^ ^a The Mirage Bowl is not a postseason bowl game, and is generally discounted from bowl records.
