Oregon Ducks vs Wisconsin Badgers Tide What to Watch:

The Rose Bowl is typically not thought of as a consolation award for its competitors. 

But for the Pac-12 champion Oregon Ducks and the Big Ten runner-up Wisconsin Badgers, that is just what it is. 

At one point, both programs were in the running for the College Football Playoffs, but losses before championship weekend sent them to the New Year's Six. 

For the first time since their 2015 playoff matchup with Florida State, Oregon, the only power-five champion not in the playoffs, is returning to Pasadena, California. 

After serving as the Big Ten representative for three years, from 2011 to 2013, this is Wisconsin's first Rose Bowl appearance. 

The two teams faced off in a high-scoring game in 2012, which the Ducks won by ten points in the fourth quarter. 

After jumping seven spots in the final College Football Playoff rankings, Oregon comes in as the top-ranked team. 

The Ducks were relegated below the Top 10 after their defeat against Arizona State, but the committee was so delighted by their victory over Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game that it moved them up to No. 6. 

In the quest for the conference's Rose Bowl berth, Wisconsin probably accomplished enough in the first half of the Big Ten Championship Game to maintain its ranking at No. 8, keeping it ahead of Penn State. 

Given that Oregon ranks ninth in scoring defense with 15.7 points allowed per game and Wisconsin ranks tenth with 16.1, both teams may find it difficult to outsmart the opposing defenses.
 

With Oregon in 10th place and Wisconsin in 8th, the two teams likewise have comparable running defense rankings. 

The gifted running backs on each team may find it difficult, but they shown on championship weekend that they can perform well against elite defensive groups.

CJ Verdell amassed 208 yards on 18 attempts and three touchdowns, dominating Utah's top-ranked running defense. 

The sophomore had comparable stats against Washington State on October 26 and that was his second 200-yard, three-score performance. 

On Saturday, Jonathan Taylor, the second-leading rusher in the FBS, outran Ohio State's seventh-ranked running defense for 148 yards and a touchdown. 

The junior had ten triple-digit ground efforts in November and December, along with 900 rushing yards and six touchdowns. 

Wisconsin's superior passing defense, which gave up 191.2 yards per game compared to Oregon's 222.8 yards per game, is the only defensive differential. 

Justin Herbert, who has 15 more throwing touchdowns and 792 more passing yards than Jack Coan, can help Mario Cristobal's team close that gap. 

The Oregon senior has four 300-yard performances compared to his opponent's one, giving him the advantage if the Rose Bowl comes down to quarterback play.
