And so it is set- Either #6 Oregon or #9 Wisconsin will win the Rose Bowl this season. A match up of the Rose Bowl’s 2 previous losers will provide one team with the chance to erase that label. While it may seem like so long ago now, both teams were on the fringes of national title talk for much of this season. Wisconsin was an early favorite …
2010 vs 2011: (some) Oregon Stats Through 13 Games

Oregon finishes a great accomplishment; now faces a month of unfinished business
In the last two weeks, Oregon has beaten bad teams with sloppy performances, 49-21 over Oregon State, 49-31 over UCLA. Neither win was artistic.
