This is a ranking of all FBS team's all-time position since the 1936 season.

NIU is ranked #99

The highest two from the MAC are Miami at #48 and Toledo at #52.

This is what you get when someone has waaay too much time on his or her hands or some organization has waaaay too many employees.

Interesting - maybe for those who want to brag a bit but useful - nope!

Well, 1936 - 2002 weren't all that good to NIU.

Not easy to argue against given the darkest of days & all the years the program floundered in between The Evans-Fletcher-Mallory-Pettibone-Novak seasons---and not all of those were Michiganesque either.

SurpriseS?

ND still up there so high

TCU so high ---- I presumed their recent success was atypical given the heavywieghts played every season

Akron, WakeF, Iowa State, WMU and Vandy so low

How much different might the rankings be since from starting with 2000 thru when 2010 season will end?

What the hell?

This is just a re-hash of an article from January:
