Scenario #1: Illini sneak into the Rose Bowl (getting picked over a BCS#3 Georgia, pissing off legions of anti-Big 10 people off who are already pissy), and once there the Illini have to play a peaking USC team with a real possibility of getting trounced (further ammunition for Big Ten haters).

Beyond the enjoyment of winning my bet vs Iron, I don't really care if the Illini make a BCS game. They would probably have an easier game if they don't and therefore a theoretical better chance to win.
Also, over the last month of play, the Illini are pretty hot (notwithstanding their layoff) I don't think they are going to be afraid to play anyone or get blown out.
Looking forward to 2008 either scenario could be positive.
