If tOSU goes to the National Championship, then the Rose Bowl loses its Big 10 tie-in. With Pasadena being closer to Hawaii then most of the other bowls, I could see them choosing Hawaii v. USC. Fiesta could also gamble on Hawaii (being on the west coast).
What about if we lose Saturday and end up in Cap One or Cotton against none other than Michigan? LSU/USC in the Sugar would be my pick too and probably the most looked forward to of all bowls, including NC game, imo.
You expect them to fall that far? Even if they lose this weekend, they will likely be gobbled up before Hawaii. And even if they aren't... we have to take Hawaii if they fall to us. USC will not play in the Sugar...
If USC beats UCLA, they will play in the Rose Bowl...No way they make it to the Sugar...What's crazy is that UCLA can still go to the Rose Bowl.
