Terrible, or road to the BCS?

Perhaps, but I get the feeling at least one of the MAC teams will trip them up. I'm going to lol if Miami ends their 16-game losing streak against the Herd.

Did Buffalo sign that contract before Baylor was good? Baylor's been on the radar only for a few years--- RG3 really made a name for the perpetual Big 12 Losers.

Now they are contenders-- and winners.

This is the second 1:1 we have with Baylor going back to 2007 (when we played them tough in Amherst). So yes they were signed when Baylor was the Indiana of the B12.

That's still nice to have now that they've elevated their play. I know NIU had the 1:1 scheduled with Kansas shortly after their Orange Bowl appearance, but then KU sucked when they came to DeKalb.

As for the Indiana of the BigTen, I take great pleasure in Illinois now filling that role. NIU has more BigTen wins in their last 8 BigTen games than Illinois has in their last 24.

So if any MAC teams have BigTen wins since 2012, you're doing better than the Illini.

Whoever the program is, is great. I remember when Toledo beat Colorado at home. Colorado wasn't anyone to write home about, but the fact they beat em, even in their couple of down years was impressive. Still a resume enhancer none the less, and a fan pleaser.

The win isn't on par with the Pittsburgh win by any means but not often those opportunities come around.

NIce to see big schools still coming to campuses. Luckily UT is still able to score some-- I know Mizzou is only coming because camaraderie between Pinkel and UT but getting Miami and some other big names is a feat. Not just UT, but some other MAC teams have done it as well. Wish Akron could get UM to play at Cleveland Stadium or something, wouldnt that be nice.
