there was no way for USC to play UGA in the Rose Bowl
I still do not get this. In the wording it says if the Big 10 champ is not available the choices are the next best Big 10 or the next best BCS at large. I will find you the link if I must. I am sure this is the case.
Now the order for the Sugar would be the same, albeit the SEC champ etc.
Yall are saying the Sugar pulled rank on the Rose? lol
okie dokie then.
And i am quite certain that Georgia was a higher BCS ranking than Illinois last season.

The Rose had the first choice, and could choose any team they wanted, BUT if they chose an SEC team, since the Sugar lost their's (LSU), the Sugar could "block" the Rose and keep the SEC team, because they were from the same conference. Now if the Sugar for whatever reason didn't care, then, yes, the Rose could've chosen UGA, but otherwise, the Rose had the #1 choice besides UGA.
Of course, we can argue the Rose should've chosen Kansas or WVU over Illinois, but not UGA.

Here is the relevant rule, straight from the BCS website:
In both years, the bowl losing the #1 seed was the Rose, and the #2 was the Sugar.
quote:
C. When two bowls lose host teams, then the bowl losing the number one team may not select a replacement team from the same Conference as the number two team, unless the bowl losing the number two team consents
In both years, the bowl losing the #1 seed was the Rose, and the #2 was the Sugar.
