I agree that NIU had no business in a BCS game last year from a competitive standpoint. Yes, they hung in for awhile but were never really in the game from the eye test perspective. Now, they deserved to be there from the way the BCS system is currently set up. I agree to that.Schadenfreude wrote:No. It wasn't. They hung in there most of the night against a good Florida State team. My take away was that they showed they belonged on that field, even if they didn't win. Lots of teams got blown out worse during bowl season than Northern Illinois did.zete wrote:NIU is an above average MAC team with no business playing in the BIG (Orange) bowl games. Wasn't that obvious last year?
