The thing that annoyed me about his rankings is that he put Northwestern into the top 25 after a loss to Michigan. Ive never seen a team lose and move up in ranking.

Big night for NIU tonight on ESPN2. A win over Toledo oughtta put 'em in the top 25 this week depending on how other Top 25 teams ranked between #15 and #25 fare.

I have, but usually it's an unranked team taking a Top 10 team to the wire.

Yes, NW went into OT w/ Michigan, but the Wolverines are barely rankable so that's hardly a resume builder.

For the conferences' sake, here's hoping this pattern is broken tonight.

Get ranked.. lose.. get ranked.. lose..

Fans of the opponents are exempt from agreeing.
