I'm not buttering up our NIU poster, but NIU plays Purdue soon and if they beat Purdue (NIU should be a fav) then they (NIU) could be undefeated for a good run in this season.

Around week 6 it might be: "Can NIU go undefeated and challenge for a BCS at-large bid?"

And that, of course, could set up a real dog fight with the Rockets.

Going undefeated is an extremely challenging thing to accomplish,

They may be true, but I believe Toledo and L'ville both have the most favorable schedules of any teams trying to go undefeated.

I see two tough games: BSU and then UT.

Remember what a grinder it is in the SEC, B1G, etc. (e.g., UofM has MSU, OSU, ND, etc. UGH!!).
