The '''2020 Rose Bowl Game''' was a college football bowl game played on January 1, 2020, with kickoff at 5:00 p.m. EST (2:00 p.m. local PST) on ESPN.<ref>{{cite web |title=2019-20 college football bowl schedule, games, dates, times, TV channels |url=https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/2019-20-college-football-bowl-schedule-games-dates-times-tv-channels/ |website=CBSSports.com |access-date=June 7, 2019 |language=en}}</ref> It was the 106th edition of the Rose Bowl Game, and one of the 2019–20 bowl games concluding the 2019 FBS football season. Sponsored by the Northwestern Mutual financial services organization, the game was officially known as the '''Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual''', and was a rematch of the 2012 Rose Bowl, which Oregon also won. Wisconsin made it to their first Rose Bowl since 2013; the game marked the Badgers' fourth consecutive Rose Bowl loss, having lost three straight times from 2011 to 2013.
==Teams== The game matched Big Ten Conference runner-up Wisconsin and Pac-12 Conference champion Oregon. The 2012 Rose Bowl featured the same teams, won by Oregon, who scored 10 unanswered fourth-quarter points in a 45–38 victory.
===Oregon Ducks=== {{main|2019 Oregon Ducks football team}} Oregon entered the game with an 11–2 record (8–1 in conference). They finished atop the Pac-12's North Division, then defeated Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game to secure their spot in the Rose Bowl.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/2019/12/cj-verdell-oregon-ducks-run-over-utah-for-pac-12-championship-earn-rose-bowl-berth-game-at-a-glance.html |title=C.

===Wisconsin Badgers=== {{main|2019 Wisconsin Badgers football team}} Wisconsin entered the game with a 10–3 record (7–2 in conference). They finished tied with Minnesota atop the Big Ten's West Division, and advanced to the Big Ten Championship Game due to their regular season win over Minnesota. In the Big Ten title game, the Badgers fell to Ohio State, 34–21. As Ohio State was selected for the College Football Playoff, Wisconsin received an invitation to the Rose Bowl.<ref name=delong>{{cite news |url=https://fox6now.com/2019/12/08/no-8-wisconsin-vs-no-6-oregon-badgers-face-ducks-in-106th-rose-bowl-game/ |title=No. 8 Wisconsin vs. No. 6 Oregon: Badgers face Ducks in 106th Rose Bowl Game |first=Katie |last=Delong |website=fox6now.com |date=December 8, 2019 |access-date=December 8, 2019}}</ref> The Badgers were 3–2 against ranked opponents, defeating Michigan, Iowa, and Minnesota while losing to Ohio State twice.

The call and its impact on the game led former NFL referee Terry McAulay to publicly disagree with the call.<ref>{{cite web |title=Veteran NFL Official: The Rose Bowl Refs Were Wrong |url=https://thespun.com/big-ten/wisconsin/veteran-nfl-official-the-rose-bowl-refs-were-wrong#:~:text=A%20questionable%20offensive%20pass%20interference,as%20they%20milked%20the%20clock. |website=The Spun |access-date=February 1, 2021 |date=2 January 2020}}</ref>
