A dual threat at running back, Ball found the end zone 38 times this season for the Badgers and he's got the Rose Bowl still ahead of him. His 32 rushing touchdowns rank him first in the nation and so do his 1,759 rushing yards (find all of  Ball's season's stats are over here). Our five selected photos are below with a poll at the bottom.

Also, our panel reveals their selections for top games, matchups and players this bowl season.
