Rose Bowl announcing crew is Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Holly Rowe

you'd think that Holly Rowe would be obligated to do Minnesota Golden Gopher games
 
Not bad. Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen would work for me.
If you want a chuckle check out on YouTube the '77 or '78 Rose Bowl. You know, one of the 20 in a row scUM lost. Anyway, Dandy Don is the color guy with Curt Gowdy doing the play by play.
Dandy clearly did not prepare at all! It's like he rolled out of bed from his New Years Eve bender 30 minutes prior to kickoff and Wala, now he is on TV in front of about 50 million people watching.

Read a Roone Arledge bio. He assigned Chris Schenkel in one of the earlier college football coverage. When advised to do more play analysis, Chris responded something like 'I can't do this to young kids'...how things have changed....one of the most distinctive voices in sports announcing.

my favorite line of his "Oh, the pomp and pageantry of college football!"
 
Keith Jackson will always be the legendary voice of college football, but the broadcasting team I enjoyed the most was Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson during their ESPN years in the 1990's.

Bill Flemming was good also. Who could forget an early 20 something Jim Lampley doing sideline reports!
