HAHA where the haters?

Way to barely beat the last place PAC-10 team with mediocre talent, the refs on your side, and a coach trying to give the game away! BCS here they come!

Meh, I think Hawaii deserves a BCS spot at this point. They beat 10-2 Boise, they beat a decent Washington team that was much better than their 4-8 record, and they did go 12-0. Remember, with 10 teams making the BCS, it's not exactly the cream of the crop.

From a who's the most talented team standpoint, they don't belong in the Top 12, but can you honestly say that LSU/Illinois is a more intriguing matchup than LSU/Hawaii? I'd rather see Hawaii in a BCS game than Illinois.

Plus, think about the easy money on LSU -24. Yum.

P.S. Yes, I'm in denial for now about LSU going to the BCS title game. We'll see the results of ESPN's politicking tomorrow.

Illinois is likely in the Rose Bowl anyway

You never explained your reasoning behind thinking Hawai'i could cost them the Rose Bowl. You think the Rose Bowl would take UH?

It was before austiger pointed out the BCS stipulation about selecting teams

since the Rose Bowl loses the #1 (Ohio State), they get first choice for at-larges.
However, they won't be able to choose a SEC team (which was not previously the case) when a SEC team ends up #2 and filling the other title spot.

Give the Rose a choice of Kansas or Illinois, guess which one they'll take.

Irrelevant since Illinois will be playing USC in Pasadena.
