Bowls out - thank goodness the BCS is dying

[novakjr]

I think we can thank Ohio state for this years mess. If they weren't ineligible, Wisconsin wouldn't be playing in a BCS game, and I'd go as far as saying, neither would Northern Illinois..

Now here goes on Northern Illinois, I know they're 15, and all they had to be was 16 or higher to get into a BCS bowl. Ohio State if ranked would only knock NIU down to 16, still leaving them in a BCS game. BUT if Nebraska had lost again to a 2nd or 3rd ranked OSU in the Big10 championship, instead of unranked WIS, I don't think they would've dropped as far in the rankings, and would've stayed ahead of NIU, instead of right behind 'em, leaving NIU at 17 and out of a BCS game...
