UL bowl news still uncertain

[CrazyCajun]

Possibly, but I would think that the fact that Fresno has played and beaten more bowl eligible teams than NIU will play more of a factor than anything that happened last season. Fresno has wins over Rutgers and Boise State (qualified), UNLV and San Diego State (one more win), and a game against probable qualifier San Jose State, then the MWC championship game (Boise State or Utah State), for a total of 6 wins. NIU has a win over Iowa, with games against Ball State, Toledo and the MAC championship game (Bowling Green or Buffalo), for a total of 4 games. Overall schedule looks good for Fresno, just not the stretch run.

Sorry to tell you but you can't change human nature. The human poll will weigh in the fact that niu was given their bcs chance and they shat the bed. It's human, not the computer.

To throw a wrinkle in everyone's conceived notion that one will in fact bust the BC$, it's not set that either will make it. To qualify, they must either be in the Top 12 of the BC$ OR be in the Top 16 and be ranked higher than the automatic qualifier from the Power 6. Basically this means that Fresno or NIU need to be ranked ahead of UCF, which they are...for now. UCF is ranked 17th for now and has been climbing. Don't be surprised if ESPN and others start pimping UCF and get the voters to rank them ahead of Fresno and NIU.

This. Essentially, if we want to have NIU in the NOLA Bowl, we need UCF to get in. This would push Fresno & NIU into lower bowls, NIU possibly coming to ours.

I will always remember how I felt when I saw that announcement and also how I felt when Baer made that field goal to win it. Thanks for bringing those memories back to me.
