I'm not saying that the Rose won't pick Illinois, but a Georgia - USC matchup is a lot more intriguing than Illinois - USC. I think when all is said and done, the Rose will stick with tradition, but there is nothing forcing them to do so.
Actually if LSU goes to the ship the Rose would have to get permission from the Sugar to select Georgia, or something along those lines, which will not happen.
