NIU losing to Bowling Green

[golfingomez]

this could get interesting

[JKvsHimself]

Not looking too good right now. BG up 31-13

[golfingomez]

NIU losing 31-13 probably heading into half... if they lose they get no bcs bowl bid... which puts another team in, probably from the Big 12... OSU/Baylor

how can this affect us

[Harry]

31-13 Bowling Green lead. This reminds me of when Houston lost to Southern Miss and C-USA lost a BCS windfall. The MAC officials are probably wolfing down rolaids about now.

Yeah the announcer mentioned The Big 12 would get NI's BCS spot.

For all DT haters look at the mistakes a Heisman hopeful has made. "How do you like me now" says DT . There is a reason DT is breaking Ramsey records set nearly 40 years ago and in only three years just like Ramsey thanks to Dodge' s stupidity at Arkansas State DT's freshman year.

Bad news for Ohio U.

The fresno fan in me loves seeing this

[Harry]

I'm going to predict right now Northern Illinois is going to come back and win this game. Too much money at stake for the MAC and a Heisman Trophy to boot! That missed 20-yard field goal for BG was the first indication.

[NT03]

I always root for the mid majors, but NIU doesn't deserve a BCS bid.

I think this game is more telling of what happens when the QB is doing pretty much everything. You know how our D and ST have spoiled us? I think Lynch has spoiled NIU. Get a sub-par game from their D and make him go against one of the better defenses he's faced, pretty much on his own? Good luck to NIU but there's a reason Lynch is their leading rusher.

[Harry]

I agree NT03.

They beat Idaho by 10, a horrible 1 win Purdue team and a good offense but no defense Ball State. That's pretty much it.

[Mean Green Matt]

NIU in a bit of a pickle. This would be some comeback. Bowling Green may be a bit too good at this point though.

[golfingomez]

this one should be over

[FirefightnRick]

NIU one of the worse pass defenses I've seen on TV this year. And how in hell did BG lose to Indiana?

[Harry]

That B owningNI Green coach is going places.

NIU's loss means...

Two Big 12, PAC 12, and Two Big Ten teams, in BCS Bowls.

Championship - FSU vs Ohio St

Rose - Mich St vs Stanford

Sugar - SEC Champ vs Baylor

Fiesta - OkSt vs. Az State

Orange - UCF vs Alabama

The bowl trickle down will guarantee a bowl swap with the ESPN bowls.

Anybody else think it's ridiculous the champions of the SEC won't get to play for a national championship. They are hands down the best conference and beat each other up week in and week out.

Yes. The SEC champ the winner of the #3 vs. #5 match up should be in the championship, but too many ESPN analyst went to Ohio State.

I would love to see Michigan State win and set up Ohio State vs Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.

[JesseMartin]

I was thinking the same thing...and FSU vs. Missouri would be awesome for a championship game.

I would love this, my mom teaches at MU so I would have an interest in the game (it has been a long time)

It's ridiculous SEC shills think that that overrated conference deserves to play for the national championship this year. Buckeyes have won 24 games in a row.

To be fair, only 12 of those count toward this season...
