Title: I can't believe Northern Illinois is going to the Orange Bowl Post by: WoodstockVol on December 03, 2012, 05:04:23 EST That to Me is prime evidence that the BCS system is broken! FSU will beat NIU 56-21 or something along those lines. I bet this Orange Bowl will have the worst rating that They've ever had

Illinois is one of the worst teams to have made a BCS bowl (though there have been a couple of really crappy major conference winners in there too). For the most part the small conference schools have had too few rather than too many opportunities though.
FWIW, N. Ill. has a 30% chance of winning against FSU according to Ken Massey. That is higher than the chance he gives Notre Dame of beating Alabama (28%). :wow: Interestingly, none of the five BCS games are the tossups you would expect in BCS bowls: Florida (96%) over L'ville Alabama (72%) over Notre Dame FSU (70%) over N. Ill Stanford (70%) over Wisconsin Oregon (69%) over KSU |
