USC: America's Bowl Team
USC has a remarkable record in bowl games. The Trojans have the nation's sixth highest bowl winning percentage (.644) among the 70 schools that have made at least 10 bowl appearances (behind Utah's .750, Toledo's .700, Penn State's .667, Boston College's .667 and Oklahoma State's .647). USC is just 1 win behind Alabama for most bowl victories, 30 to 29. Troy's 45 bowl appearances rank fourth behind only Alabama (54), Tennessee (46) and Texas (46). 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 29-16. The Trojans were a bowl participant each year they were eligible from 1972 to 1990.

Troy has appeared in an unprecedented 31 Rose Bowls, where it has a 22-9 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 9 of its last 12 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 Orange Bowl (twice).
