Lincoln, NE - Wisconsin torched the Nebraska defense for 539 yards, a school record allowed by the Huskers. The Badgers would go on to upset Nebraska 70-31 to claim it's third straight Big 10 Championship.

Montee Ball ran for 202 yards and three touchdowns and the Badgers scored seven touchdowns on their first nine possessions, blowing out Nebraska (No. 12 BCS, No. 14 AP) 70-31 to win their third straight, and most improbable, Big Ten title on Saturday night.

Wisconsin will be the first five-loss team to play in the Rose Bowl and is the first school to represent the league in three consecutive Rose Bowls since Michigan in the late 1970s.
