NFL playoff schedule 2012: Tim Tebow, Broncos are in, but for how long?

The 2012 Rose Bowl functions two teams which each lost inside a BCS Bowl final season. Oregon, led by the exactly the same dynamic duo of Darron Thomas and LaMichael James that took them towards the BCS National Championship game final season, will take on the Big Ten champion Wisconsin Badgers who lost fell to TCU in last year's Rose Bowl.

Led by quarterback Russell Wilson and running back Montee Ball (conference offensive player in the year), the Badgers beat Michigan State in the inaugural Big 10 Championship Game. Earlier within the season Wisconsin looked on track for the BCS title game, but came two hail mary passes away from being undefeated.

Oregon, nevertheless, easily won the Pac-12 title and had the 3rd greatest offense in the nation in points scored. The Ducks and their always-changing uniforms lost their initial game in the season to LSU, but still managed to go 11-2 overall and 8-1 within the conference.

Will the Ducks finally obtain a BCS bowl win for head coach Chip Kelly? Or will Wisconsin shut down LaMichael James and win its first BCS bowl since 2000? PREDICT THE WINNER Here!
