Rose Bowl is really screwing up BCS Bowls this year by forcing Pac10Big10 matchup (picking Illinois)...and how would Mizzou feel about not getting into BCS Bowl while the 2 teams they beat (Kansas and Illinois) stroll into BCS Bowls...

Yeah, Illinois went from something like #15 to playing in a BCS Bowl without playing a game inbetween.

Picking Illinois practically guarantees that the Big Ten will go another year without winning the Rose Bowl.

The last time a Big Ten team won it, Ron Dayne was the MVP as Wisconsin beat a Tyrone Willingham-led Stanford squad that had lost 69-17 to Texas earlier in the year.

Ron Dayne:*) if only he hadn't taken his signing bonus with the Giants in the form of Twinkies instead of cash

Ron Dayne can fo, Joe Hamilton should have won that heisman

fairly annoyed, specifically because it's not like they won their way into their BCS bowls, it's rewarding teams for playing less games. also it's pretty cute how west virginia can screw up vs. pitt who is a much worse team than oklahoma yet still get into a BCS game.

Would MUCH rather have a traditional Rose Bowl matchup. Even better that it screws up this BCS holocaust.
