Back to reality

Smelling like a Rose

By thumping Wisconsin on Saturday, Michigan took a big step toward its second straight trip to the Rose Bowl. The Wolverines can assure themselves of a trip to Pasadena by beating Ohio State on Saturday.

Regardless, the Big Ten representative will be determined after this weekend, which sees Wisconsin host Penn State in addition to the showdown in Columbus.

A breakdown of the three remaining hopefuls, and their chances of making it to the Grandaddy of them All:

n Michigan will go to the Rose Bowl if: The Wolverines beat Ohio State this Saturday. End of story.

n Wisconsin will go to the Rose Bowl if: The Badgers beat Penn State on Saturday, and Ohio State beats Michigan.

n Ohio State will go to the Rose Bowl if: The Buckeyes beat Michigan, and Wisconsin loses to Penn State.
