I will take the points.
Seriously, if a team is a 14 point dog to it's opponent, it doesn't deserve to be in the BCS bowls.
If a team is from the Big 10 it doesn't deserve to be in a BCS game this year.

:yeahthat:
I don't think 14 is enough in this one.
I think I'd give 21 in this game.
SC has a hard time with big spreads.
spread is only there because vegas wants to have equal money on both teams
yes I get that, I am saying if I was betting I would keep an eye on the line, I think the money will push this close to 15.5 at which point I wouldnt touch it.
i wouldnt even touch it at 14 although i think usc will roll the illini
the thing with bowl games is that you never know if both teams will be motivated for it. the schools get the money for showing up and there´s no incentive to win apart from pride etc. take last season´s rose bowl between usc and michigan ... for the players their season was over after the loss to ohio state that cost them a shot at the crystal ball and i dont think they were all that bothered about the outcome of the game.
Another perfect example was the 2001 Buffaloes against Oregon. Our team played like it couldn't care any less.
