With the win NIU moved up to #16 and got the automatic bid to the Orange Bowl. BG was 6-2 in conference and was leading Kent in the 4th qt. Had Kent not come back to win that game both teams would have been 7-1 with BG having the tie breaker. At 7-4 BG would not have been ranked and I don't think NIU moves up to 16 with a MACC over them.

Its rare, yes, but if two MACC teams are ranked it could bump the winner into a better bowl. If those teams happen to be in the same division, it can't happen.

Again, I know its a rare and speculative occurrence

One major difference now. Computers don’t run the rankings.

NIU was #16 in the AP and Coaches poll. The computer didn't matter.
