Bob's Bowl forecast: Illinois comes up Rose(s)

Did Illinois save itself a BCS berth with the comeback win against Northwestern? Definitely, according to News-Gazette college football writer Bob Asmussen, though he once again has changed Illinois' destination and opponent. In a good way. Think Keith Jackson and parades. Every Thursday until the selections are made Dec. 4, he'll deliver his BCS pairings plus Illinois' destination. Once again, the BCS is a destination for the Illini.
