Rose Bowl Matchup: Stanford vs. Wisconsin
It would be an understatement to say that Wisconsin beat Nebraska. Annihilated is entirely appropriate.
While Stanford barely hung-on to victory over UCLA Friday night to win the Pac 12 Championship Game and a trip to the Rose Bowl, Wisconsin absolutely blew-out No. 14 Nebraska to claim the Big Ten Championship Saturday night. Stanford and Wisconsin will meet New Year's Day in Pasadena.
Unranked Winconsin rushed for 539 yards as the Badgers crushed the Cornhuskers 70-31.
Wisconsin is the first team to go to the Rose Bowl with five losses (8-5; 4-4 Big Ten). This will be the Badgers third straight appearance in the Rose Bowl.
