Also, they are not allowed to select UGA under the current rules, since the Sugar lost their natural SEC connection in LSU. So, the Rose certainly isn't going to select ASU to play USC in a conference game, and they certainly aren't going to select one of the Big 12 teams, so the Illini is clearly their best option, and I couldn't be happier for them and the conference.
