Rose Bowl officials have the option to choose among several teams, but Big Ten sources indicated they have been assured that Illinois will be selected today if Ohio State moves up and Illinois is in the BCS pool

Is this Gould guy usually on the mark? That's pretty big what he said there.

Yep... Gould is pretty good and that is a major paper

Good. And good for Illinois.

Also good for the Hoosiers as it could move them all the way up to the Champs Sports Bowl.

It's big, but not surprising at all. It is nice to see it printed in a major newspaper though.

battle for the decade FTW. I wanted the B squads to win just so I could get this game irrational or not. Jim Tressel has laid one egg in his career and I will be shocked if he lets that occur again. But yeat again I heard Colt 45 is troy smith 's love child

I'm not a huge numbers guy, can someone tell me very briefly why USC is not being considered more for the NC?

USC only has one real quality win (ASU) and lost their marquee matchup against Oregon. Add that to losing to a hapless Stanford team and the fact that they kinda backed into the PAC10 title when Dixon went down and Oregon collapsed.
