Yeah, N. Illinois gets a higher bowl than Georgia, LSU and Texas A&M...But they are 10 spots lower than those three teams...But, they played within the rules....But, and I quote Mark Reiche of Georgia, five years ago..." Where in the rules, does it say you have have to win your conference championship, to get a BCS Bowl bid"....Answer: Nowhere.......But, we'll take the Chik-Fil-Lay Bowl and be satisfied... But in 2013, it's all gonna change,so those schools like N. Illinois better get use to it... If you're not dominate in your conference and in the playoffs,you don't make it...

It drives me crazy to see crap teams playing in a bowl game. There are over 35 bowl games now. Some of the teams even have losing records. What a joke.

Nothing to do with the BCS standings,but, ESPN is reporting that Bret Bielema is headed to Arkansas as the head coach and Gus Malzahn is headed back to Auburn as the head coach.... I figured Gus should have gotten the job over Chizic.....
