This is probably a feeling that's distinctive only in the Midwest and West Coast but the Rose Bowl always tops my viewing list regardless of who's playing. Although, the Trojans Song Girls help.
The largest spread of all bowls, 14.5 points, very few people give the Illini any chance of keeping this close, myself included. It's not so much that Illinois isn't good, they've had a great season, but USC might very well be the best team in the country as this point in the year.
