    I hadn't really noticed that the Rose Bowl had been shunning taking the non-BCS conference teams. But that will all end soon.
    The article points out that the 9-3 Illinois team that went to the Rose Bowl would not have gone with these rules in place.

    Good for them to force the Rose Bowl into giving the little guy a chance! :)

    Rose Bowl You have to scroll down a little to find this entry.

    Then why not replace those 2 D-bags with the MWC champ?

    If you guys wanna know why the Rose Bowl people hate this BCS nonsense, it is actions like this that really play into it.

    BTW-

    This all but ensures the SEC will never be embarrassed again by any more pesky MWC teams.
