No. Unfortunately, the BCS has a rule that prohibited the Rose Bowl from selecting Georgia. Here's the rule:
C. When two bowls lose host teams, then the bowl losing the number one team may not select a replacement team from the same Conference as the number two team, unless the bowl losing the number two team consents.Since the Rose lost Ohio State and the Sugar lost LSU, the Rose was not allowed to pick an SEC team unless the Sugar Bowl consented and they did not.
The rule was the result of the complaints of the Rose Bowl when they could not select Iowa in 2003 and were stuck with Oklahoma because the Orange Bowl picked Iowa to play USC.
Where is ASU? They pummelled Colorado earlier this year by three touchdowns, and Colorado was good enough to beat Oklahoma. ASU has two losses, a close one at Oregon when Oregon was #2 and Dixon was still healthy, and one to USC when USC just clicked on Thanksgiving. And ASU gets left out while some crap team like Illinois goes to the Rose Bowl? Georgia should have come to the Rose Bowl, like everyone wanted, West Virginia should have played Hawaii and ASU should have been in the Fiesta. What a bad year for college football.
