ESPN reporting that the B1G, the SEC, and ACC coaches all voted NIU up higher in order to screw the Big 12 out of getting 2 teams in the BCS.
This is what the BCS has come to folks. Northern Illinois, who beat one ranked team this year (#25 Kent State in OT) goes to the flippin' Orange Bowl. NIU lost to Iowa, and beat the 2 win Army team by one point, yet they are going to the Orange Bowl.
Makes Iowa's trips to the Orange Bowl not seem so impressive anymore. What a joke the BCS is. I can't wait until Florida State puts up 70 on Northern Illinois.
