"The outrage seemed as inappropriately orchestrated as a flash mob at a funeral. The ESPN pundits, led by Kirk Herbstreit, sounded off on a system that selected Northern Illinois of the Mid-American Conference to play in a Bowl Championship Series game ahead of such college football factories as Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

Where was the disgust for a five-loss Wisconsin team playing in the Rose Bowl?"
