Illini to the Rose Bowl!?

[IlliBraves]

What a great day this could be. With WV's loss earlier today, sportsline.com already predicts Ohio State will play in the national title game with the rose bowl going to the Illini. UI's chances are even better with Missouri's impending loss to Oklahoma on the horizon.

Almost all the games have been going perfectly for Illinois today. This would be amazing. Go Illini!

Illini

It did go pretty well for the illini, of the 4 teams ranked directly ahead of them in the BCS, tennesee (14th) lost, boston college (11th) lost, and hawaii (12th) is currently getting spanked. That is probably enough to get illinois up to at least 12th in the BCS. Too bad Arizona couldnt have pulled it out against AZ St, AZ St (13th) just took it 20-17.

The rose bowl would be nice, because if they go to the capital one bowl, Tebow scares me.

An even more strange end to this weird college football season with all the upsets---
the only undefeated team, Hawaii, is getting beaten at home by Washington. It is now 28-7 Washington--

It only took Hawaii a couple minutes to come back and score again, so it's now 28-14. Looks like this game is far from over.

This box score says Hawaii won 28-21, but I think that's wrong.

I wonder if all this wild and wacky BCS season will call for a playoff structure soon? It's obvious the BCS "formula" isn't calculating right with numerous #1's-5 being knocked off.

Congrats Bert to you and the Illini.

Who they play? (and that's on the 1st of the year, right)

They are going to get their butts kicked by USC. Who I think right now is playing the best football then any team in the country.

[Les is More]

I would like Illini to do well, even though I am a hawkeye fan.

I agree, USC looks pretty tough and its a home game for them...

[MacabreMob]

The way things have been this season.... I am gonna take UIUC and the points (or give 'em if I have to).

[bert notorius]

They are going to get their butts kicked by USC. Who I think right now is playing the best football then any team in the country.

But what a pleasant site for a butt kicking and situation to nurse a hangover.

[BUBraves06]

It's sweet for them that they are going, but USC is playing as good as anyone in the country right now, and giving Pete Carroll a month to prepare for any team is almost unfare. USC is gonna roll 'em.
