Aftermath

Ron Dayne was named the Rose Bowl MVP for the second time (the first time being the 1999 Rose Bowl), becoming only the third player in the history of the Rose Bowl to repeat as MVP. To this day, he is the only player from a Big Ten Conference team to accomplish this feat: Bob Schloredt of the Washington Huskies (AAWU) was the first, Charles White of USC (Pac-10) was the second, and Vince Young of the Texas Longhorns (Big 12) has subsequently become the fourth.

The two teams would go on to face off again exactly thirteen years later in the 2013 Rose Bowl, with Barry Alvarez returning to serve as interim head coach for Wisconsin, but this time, Stanford would win 20-14.

2000 Rose Queen Sophia Bush has gone on to become a successful actress, starring for nine seasons as Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill, and currently as Detective Erin Lindsay on Chicago P.D..

The animated series Futurama occasionally references this game, as part of a running gag that the mother of Philip J. Fry is a devout football fan.
- The episode, Jurassic Bark, in which the (incorrectly inversed) 2nd quarter score is briefly shown on Fry's parents' television, while Fry's mother wears a "cheesehead" hat to show loyalty to Wisconsin.
- The episode The Luck of the Fryrish Fry's mother mentions the day Wisconsin won the Rose Bowl 17-9 in reference to the day Fry disappeared.
- The episode Game of Tones ends with a dream sequence of Fry and his mother watching the end of the game.
