Rose Bowl: USC 49, Illinois 17 (final)

USC 49, Illinois 10 late in the 4th quarter....

Props to Illinois for doing their best to cost Ohio State a national championship. First, you played your best game of the year against the Buckeyes, and got a narrow victory (thanks to some questionable officiating by a shady crew). Then, you laid down in the Rose Bowl, which will almost certainly cost Ohio State the AP title, even if the Buckeyes best LSU - how many seconds after the final gun before the national media coronates Southern Cal as the "real" national champs in 2007?


I'm fuckinsick. At least you all don't have to listen to the USC bullshit diatribe on the radio, tv and even in the damn dentists office. Nauseating, Zook, you worthless piece of .....

And after a dominating 49-17 win over Illinois in the 2008 Rose Bowl, it's not a stretch to say the 11-2 Trojans are the best team playing in any bowl game -- including the BCS title game..

So now losing games to inferior teams doesn't matter if you play a great bowl game? Typical for ESPN

So, admiring the headlines on ESPN and some of the commentary; dare I say the AP may give us a repeat of 2003?


I wouldn't put it past them.

That said, this is the BCS era and the 2003 BCS national champion was LSU. The 2007 BCS national Champ will either be OSU or LSU.

Seems OSU might need a 2 or 3 touchdown victory to gain the AP vote, however. For whatever reason, the media has their favorites and they've shown that they are not afraid of stirring controversy by going against the system in place.

If OSU wins The AP will vote you #1 on the other hand IF LSU wins it will probably be a repeat of 03. Sad but True. USuCk is already building another Dynasty billboard. 4peat:(

I wouldn't be so sure on us getting the AP vote.

Media logic: Illinois beat OSU, USC destroyed Illinois so USC=NC (don't bother them with pesky details about a home loss to a 40 point underdog, they had players hurt).
