there is absolutely no way illinois deserved to be on the same field with usc yesterday. none. the rose bowl shouldve picked georgia to set up the best game of the bowl season.
I agree that a USC/GA game would have been terrific. But I think you could throw just about anybody up against either USC or Georgia and get the same result. Bagging on Illinios, who did have a pretty good season, doesn't take into account how good USC is. Southern Cal is a great football team. So is Georgia.
The Rose Bowl would rather keep it's traditional Pac 10-Big 10 matchup instead of putting on a truly wonderful game.

BCS buddy, the same reason they sent Kansas and VT to Orange Bowl, and WVU and OU to the Fiesta. My thoughts in a week you have #1 vs #2, why not in the Orange #3 vs #4 (VT/OU) and the Rose #5 vs #7 (Ga/USC) and them put #8 vs #9 in the Fiesta (Kansas/WVU).
what this will do with last nights Sugar Bowl, unless OU pummels WVU by 3 TDs or more, the voter will move GA to #3, maybe #2 depending on the outcome of the Orange Bowl Thursday night.
and in turn, people like me, who are have been strong opponents of a CFB playoff, will start to waiver about a playoff... wait I have already started to waiver, but am still against it.
Which is exactly why they took Illinois over Georgia.
As for the last BCS spot, that certainly deserved to go to Missouri over Illinois or Hawaii, but that totally ridiculous rule which states that no conference can have more than 2 BCS teams screwed that one up.
