The CFN hasn't been kind to BG so far this season, so that listing doesn't surprise me. I think most of the part-timers covering the MAC assume BG won't, or can't win at UT, which would slant their thinking.....assuming they think at all.

I can't discount the thought that Marshall, even if leaving the MAC, would be an attractive bowl team in regards to the fans who will attend.

What does amaze me, is the thought that UT could win at both NIU and Miami, with BG coming at the end of that. An injury or two, a demoralized team, or a shortage of cheeseburgers could greatly impact the rockets. Plus lets remember, its UT, the first rule of UT is, that whenever they have something good going, they will screwup something of equal of greater value.

UT gave up over 500 yards of total offense to CMU this week. There's no way that defense will stop NIU or Miami enough for the Rockettes to win one, let alone both games.

I use to like CFN but I have realized that it is rinky dink site. Have you ever noticed how many typos are on there webpages every week? You would think they were posting here. All of the rankings they do are based on the opinion of one person. Have you noticed that in there CFN 117 they have had BGSU one spot behind NIU every single week since we have played them. If this was a real poll, the chance of us being behind them every week ia about nil. The logic of the ranking is like that each week with so many other teams. I wouldn't be surprised if one person does that entire site.
