"Michigan's Grit Meets Washington's Finesse in Anticipated Championship Showdown"

ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit has publicly advocated for the Rose Bowl to become the permanent host of the College Football Playoff (CFP) Championship Game, citing its unmatched setting, beauty, and historical significance. The Rose Bowl is the oldest bowl game in college football and has a storied history, particularly with the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences. While the idea may face opposition from other New Year's Six bowls and host cities, Herbstreit's suggestion comes as the CFP is set to expand to a 12-team field, with the New Year's Six hosting quarterfinal and semifinal games. The championship game location is not currently tied to a traditional bowl game.
