FWIW, here's the BCS predictions from collegebcs.com

NC: OSU v. WVU
Orange: Miami v. Georgia
Fiesta: Oklahoma v. Kansas
Rose: USC v. Illinois
Sugar: LSU v. Hawaii

I think 3 loss Illinois who lost to Missou, Iowa and Michigan getting an at large over a two loss ASU who lost to Oregon and USC would be wrong.

It would be wrong. But I also believe that the Rose Bowl wants to preserve the Big Ten/Pac 10 matchup. Illinois is second in the conference, so they would get the bid.

Illinois is NOT 2nd in the conference. Michigan is. However, Michigan isn't BCS bowl eligible, and Illinois is.
