When was the last time North western won a bowl game?
Prior to the 2010 Outback Bowl where Northwestern is playing Auburn, that would be the 1949 Rose Bowl when they defeated the University of California, 20-14. This is the only bowl game Northwestern has ever won.
Why is it called the Rose Bowl?
The first Rose Bowl Game, called the "East-West" tournament exhibition football game was sponsored by the Rose Bowl in 1901. It was designed as a way to not only showcase the relatively new and budding sport of gridiron football, but also as a way to entice easterners to visit Pasadena for the Tournament of Roses. The game became known as the Rose Bowl Game because of the stadium built to host the game, the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl was named for the annual Tournament of Roses held in Pasadena, California since 1895. The Tournament was designed as a tourist attraction to showcase southern California's beautiful wintertime weather to entice residents of colder climates to vacation in southern California each winter to boost the economy. It is important to note that the phrase "Rose Bowl" refers to the stadium and "Rose Bowl Game" refers to the football event held at the stadium each January 1st.
What is criteria for Rose Bowl invitation?
Originally, the Tournament of Roses invited the top team from the east of the country to travel to play the top team from the west in an exhibition football game. That arrangement eventually led to contracts between the Tournament of Roses and the Big Ten and what is now the Pac-12 to send their respective champions to Pasadena to play in the Rose Bowl Game. Since the introduction of the BCS, the Tournament of Roses bowl committee attempts to place the two conference champions in the game, but that is not always possible if one of the teams is playing in the BCS National Championship Game. In that case, the No. 2 team from the conference was invited. With the introduction of the "College Football Playoff" at the tail end of the 2014 season, the Rose Bowl will rotate with five other bowl sites as a semifinal site, and in those years, may not host a team from the Big Ten and Pac-12. In years where the Rose Bowl Game is not a semifinal, the bowl will only feature a Big Ten champion versus a Pac-12 champion if both teams do not participate in the playoff. It is important to note that "Rose Bowl" refers to the stadium and "Rose Bowl Game" refers to the football bowl game.

Why are there bowl games in football?
The college football postseason used to be one game. In 1923 it was moved to a new big stadium called the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. It wasn't until 1933 that another large scale postseason game was added in Miami. In order to capitalize on the popularity its counterpart was having in Pasadena, the game in Miami was called the Orange Bowl, and later the Orange Bowl Festival. As postseason college football popularity grew, other cities decided to follow suit and the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, the Sun Bowl in El Paso and the Cotton Bowl in Dallas were created. Ever since, the name "Bowl" has stuck.
