The crowds are almost always split at the Rose Bowl for traditional matchups. The only time I can remember it being decidedly not split was Miami-Nebraska. I guess that kept the game 3 points closer than it would have been.

If it's split crowd and two weeks to adjust to the time, I agree.. zero points.
But rarely are crowds that split at bowl games.
The team tickets are split. But yeah, the local VIP tickets that all bowks have are probably going to USC fans. But 50-50 vs 60-40 still isn't a big deal, imo.

I can't speak for the M fanbase, but I guarantee OSU is at or about 50% for any Rose Bowl. They were even 40-45% against LSU in New Orleans for a game we all knew they'd lose. They were also probably 60-65 when Urbs bludgeoned Tressel.

Depends on the bowl. Shitty bowl? Absolutely. Big time bowl? No. A traditional Rose Bowl is a huge draw for B10 fans and why it's almost always a split crowd. Playing an Arizona team in the Insight Bowl? Yeah, totally agree.
As my point is that USC is pretty much just hellagood, the Rose Bowl, not the Liberty Bowl or the like, is the germane discussion point.
Did someone say Liberty Bowl? Do I hear a steamer's dirge?

How many teams did the best team in the B1G not play in the Rose bowl because you couldn't play it two times in a roll? That helped USC's Rose Bowl record I'm sure and hurt some teams that didn't belong there.
