TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Tournament of Roses Parade" (6 a.m., ABC; 8 a.m., HGTV; 9 a.m., Travel Channel; 10 a.m., NBC; ) and game (11:30 a.m., ABC). Today's game should be a strong one. Southern California, pretty much the home team, plays a Michigan team still bitter about not being in the championship game. First, there's the parade, with ABC competing for attention. NBC no longer has the game, but has been involved with Rose Bowl coverage for 80 years. It will have Billy Bush in his first time as commentator; for Nancy O'Dell, his "Access Hollywood" colleague, it's the eighth time. There's also coverage on the Travel Channel and on HGTV, which wins friends by airing this commercial-free. Robb Weller anchors, alongside Paul James of "Gardening by the Yard" and Karen McAloon of "Design Remix."
