The Good?: There are four BCS schools (and maybe a 5th) on the schedule, plus Gonzaga, Utah & a decent Boise State program.
The (not so) Bad?: Probably no team in the country will have a better slate of neutral-site games than the Illini. ... Utah, Georgia, Mizzou, Gonzaga & possibly Oklahoma State.
The Ugly?: Unfortunately for Illini fans living near Champaign-Urbana, of the BCS opponents only the Vandy game will be played at the Giant Mushroom (Assembly Hall).
