It would help the SBC if NIU lost this game. Might be able to squeeze a 3rd bowl if that happened because they wouldn't bust, and a 2nd Big 12 or PAC 12 would, opening an extra bowl.

BG leads 10-7 early in the first. Defenses need not apply, and Jordan Lynch is really good.

16-7 now

17-7 Bowling Green. NIU's defense is bad.

Ooopppsss 17-7

One of BG's receivers already has 145 yards receiving. ASU may be staring at our Go Daddy opponent in this one.

I don't know who BGSU loses, but I think we open with them next year. They are looking pretty darn good in this one. Also, that Moore guy is a freshmen so he is going to be tearing up defenses for a few years to come.

17-13 Bowling Green. NIU's kicker just made back to back field goals of 51 and 45 yards. Eat your heart out Georgia Southern.

Bowling Green leads 31-13 with 11 seconds left in the half.

How much money is Bowling Green going to lose if they win the game.

Divide 8 million 13 ways and you get your answer.

If NIU loses this, suddenly they fall in line for Go Daddy and a matchup with ASU.

NIU has an awful secondary. Dear lord

Note to NIU: The Tight End is an eligible receiver.

Agreed. Not a defender near these guys.

Bowling Green leads 34-20 with 14:10 left in the 4th.

A Lynch INT leads to a BG TD. 40-20 Bowling Green. Extra Point blocked. 10:20 left

I am working some late bowl math to see which scenarios come into play should NIU lose.

If BG wins. Does that help or hurt the chance for a third bid for the Belt?

Depends. It means either the Big 12 or PAC 12 will place two BCS teams.

If Baylor goes, Big 12 leaves the Texas Bowl open. That game has a Big 10 tie, and no backup that I can find. My guess is they would try to take an Extra PAC 12 team like Arizona. Which helps our I Bowl chances

If Oregon goes, PAC 12 has only one extra, and that is Oregon State...whose lost 6 straight games.

Hows this for hurting a conference?

By winning tonight, Bowling Green costs the MAC an 8 million dollar pay day that would have been divided amongst all 13 teams, including BG. In addition, this forces NIU to a MAC Tied bowl, most likely costing them at least one bowl team.
