no way the Rose chooses Kansas over Illinois

C.R.E.A.M.

1 loss Kansas will likely be ranked 3-4 in BCS.
3 loss Illinois will likely be ranked 12-13 in BCS.

OU vs. KU is an enticing matchup in the Fiesta bowl.

Of course I'm biased as an Illinois student but I personally think:

USC vs. Illinois
OU vs. KU

are pretty enticing matchups.

I think ASU is most likely to get shafted.
If they make it, then Illinois is out.

Do you think coaches or media will intentioanlly vote teams they don't want way lower than they believe they should be? I really hope some coach votes Georgia or Va Tech like 20th so we have some scandals to talk about. I mean, if I were a coach I would do it and I have to believe a lot of coaches will too.

I really think Va Tech has a much better shot than people here give them. They should have the best computer scores for the teams in the debate so as long as the gap is relatively small I think they could jump LSU. People like to argue the computers don't have as big of a say but the percentage gaps between places in the computers seem to be bigger than in the polls.

Replace one Texas appearance with an Oklahoma appearance. Excuse me.

No way does Va Tech beat out LSU because I'm pretty sure LSU is still scoring on the Hokies.

The computers aren't allowed to factor this in and the humans could do pretty much anything but if I had to guess it will be
tOSU
big gap
LSU
small gap
Va Tech and Georgia
and if the gap isn't big enough it won't matter that they got killed. This is just a guess of course but I won't be shocked if it happens.

The Rose Bowl took an at-large B12 team (Texas) twice in the last 5 years.
