Rosebowl question

Okay... here is the question and it is a hypothetical: If either Mizzou or WV looses, does Georgia or Illinois play in the Rosebowl?

    Illinois should play in the Rose Bowl if one of those two teams loses only if Ohio State goes to the BCS championship game.

    that was a slim shady pass interference call that got Pitt's TD called back.

    Well if tradition is involved, it should be a Big Ten team and that would be Illinois. However, I think Georgia is likely ranked higher in the BCS. That 40-34 loss to Mizzou may come back to haunt the Illini. In any event, they have had a terrific season.

    NO FREAKING WAY OSU GETS TO THE TITLE GAME BECAUSE THEY ARE CHICKEN **** TO PLAY AN EXTRA GAME. A TEAM SHOULD NOT BE
    ALLOWED TO BACK INTO THE TITLE GAME FOR SITTING ON THEIR ****

    So Georgia and Kansas would also be eliminated by that same reasoning. Now if Hawaii wins tonight should they be in the title game? It's not their
    fault they haven't played anyone, no one wants to go to the islands and play them except for the last game of the year.

    The Big Ten DOES NOT have two Divisions within the Conference so there can be no play-off game. One can not blame OSU for the way the Conference is set up

    The Rose Bowl is just not what it used to be, the BCS has taken some luster off of the old traditional bowl games.

    If they want a true champion just work out some kind of a playoff system already and end the nonsense with
    the BCS that is going on now. The "Sports Reporters" on ESPN this morning were talking about it and I have
    to agree with them that the BCS system is chaotic.

    Well it looks like Illinois goes to Pasadena... Congrats to Ron Zook, his coaching staff and all the players... should be a tough match up against USC.

    You're right about this. BUT -- I think the BCS and the voters reserve the right to penalize any school in the Big 10 or Pac 10 because of it. And if those conferences get tired of being penalized for not having a championship game and the boost that winning it can bring in the BCS standings, the Pac 10 could add two schools and the Big 10 could add one. Problem solved.

    So, the conference should get PENALIZED for not having a championship game? Interesting.

    Why is it that Mizzou loses two games to a team they should only have to play once, beat Illinois at Illinois, Illinois lost 2 home games and one on the road for fun and Illinois gets to go to the Rose Bowl? The system is great on all levels isn't it?

    The Illinois- Mizzou game was played on neutral ground in St. Louis. It was not in Champaign. Illinois was designated the home team. Also, keep in mind Mizzou built up a 37-13 lead and Illinois was driving for the winning score but Mizzou intercepted on the goal line. Mizzou won 40-34

    Is this fair that Mizzou is not playing in the Rosebowl? Not really... but for years up until the 1973-74 time frame, The Big Ten only sent one team to a post season bowl game and that was the Rosebowl.
