45 (5)Oregon, 38 (10)Wisconsin
First of all, the Oregon may have had the coolest uniforms of all time. They were out of control awesome.
Now onto the game, the Oregon Ducks out shot there way to a Rosebowl victory for the first time in 95 yards. When I first saw this match up, I knew their wasn't going to be a lot of defense, but the way this game started was ridiculous.
Darron Thomas passed for three touchdowns, De'Anthony Thomas scored on runs of 91 and 64 yards, and the Ducks earned their first bowl victory under coach Chip Kelly, holding off the Badgers 45-38 Monday night in the highest-scoring Rose Bowl ever played.
I can't take anything away from Wisconsin because Russell Wilson had a great game 296 and 2 TDs and Heisman finalist Montee Ball had 164 yards and 2 TDs.
Although people will bring up the controversial call at the end of the half, Wisconsin had plenty of opportunities to over come it. Especially if it weren't for a spiked ball at the end of the game.
With Wisconsin getting the ball with a chance to tie with 16 seconds left in the game. Russell Wilson completed two long passes and moved the Badgers to the Oregon 25, but with 2 seconds left and no timeouts. After waiting for the ball to be set, he spiked it to set up a last-ditch heave to the end zone, but the clock hit zeroes while he did it.

41 (3)Oklahoma State, 38 (4) Stanford
Surviving a missed field goal at the end of regulation and getting a big kick of its own in overtime, No. 3 Oklahoma State opened the door for the chance at a split national championship with a wildly entertaining 41-38 win over No. 4 Stanford on Monday night.
I have been a big skeptic of Andrew luck and last night kind of disproved my skepticism as he drove Stanford to 2 chances to kick potential game winning field goals and the kicker simply missed. Luck finished the night with 27/31 for 347 and 2 TD/ 1 Int, but he was outplayed a ton by 28 year old Brandon Weeden who threw for 399 yards and 3 TDs and found stud WR Justin Blackmon for 8 rec for 186 yards and 3 TDs.
Although Luck did impress me, I would still take Robert Griffin III over him and any team that passes on Brandon Weeden because of his age is dumb. This kid is ready.
Either way both, really good games.
