Wisconsin to Rose Bowl

Wisconsin, according to Stewart Mandel of SI.com, likes Wisconsin to represent the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl.

“While most of the Big Ten continues to bumble around, Wisconsin (6-2), after its early-season struggles, is starting to look more and more like the Wisconsin we've come to expect,” Mandel wrote.

“James White (15 carries, 175 yards), Monteé Ball (24 carries, 166 yards) and the Badgers pummeled Minnesota, 38-13, (on Saturday).

“And with its spot in Indianapolis nearly wrapped up, it's starting to feel like Wisconsin will head to Pasadena for a third straight year.”

With Oregon pegged to meet Alabama for the national title, Mandel predicts USC will meet Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.
