Both CBS Sports and CNN/SI have Illinois in the Rose Bowl as well with ASU in the Holiday.
Why the hell would the Rose Bowl pick Illinois anyway? Don't they have a first choice at getting one of the better teams?
Don't they have the choice of choosing a team from another conference, such as the Big 12?
If Ohio State is in the BCS title game, who else would the pick? The are going to obviously take USC. They are NOT going to take another Pac-10 team. They would take Illinois, so they can have the traditional Pac-10-Big 10 matchup.
if Hawaii was the Cardinals, Washington scores on that last play and gets a two-point conversion.
