^ a b c The Pineapple Bowl was unsanctioned by the NCAA. As such, the two appearances in the game in 1940 and 1949 are not included in the NCAA bowl listing for Oregon State.[ 2]
^ Due to concerns following the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor , the January 1, 1942, Rose Bowl was moved to Duke University 's Duke Stadium in Durham, North Carolina , as officials were wary of allowing such a large crowd to congregate anywhere on the West Coast due to World War II security threats. [ 6]
