How the hell did Illinois get a Rose Bowl bid?

[Drunken Irishman]

Pathetic. They're up there with Pitt against Utah in the Fiesta Bowl a few years back as one of the most unworthy teams to make a BCS bowl game.

[JVS]

1. Michigan lost to Wisconsin and OSU. Illinois beat OSU and lost only to Michigan

Thus Illinois was the #2 team in the big 10 and OSU the #1. Pitt beat WVU, thus eliminating them from the national championship game. OSU moved up to take the spot. When the #1 big ten team has an invitation to the national championship game, the rose bowl frequently invites big ten's #2. That's how

2. Gosh, it was a rhetorical question on how absurdly bad the Big Ten is this year.

Why the hell did you have to bring facts into this?!?

3. How the hell did USC get a Rose Bowl bid after Stanford beat them?

:rofl:

4. Same reason LSU is in the NC with 2-losses?

[NightWatcher]

5. Because USC was too chicken shit to play the UGA Bulldawgs

(I say this as we prepare to kick off against Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl)

prayin for this one

6. I don't think USC chose their opponent.

7. MI beat FL, now it is up to OSU to beat to LSU

So much for the SEC and their speed. MI had 4 turnovers and still won (and as an OSU fan I despise MI).

Wi was close, Penn State won though.

The illini though suck and just got lucky this year :)

The NC game is less than a week away - go BUCKS!
