So it looks like this guy is picking NIU to win the MACC (as that would be the only way we would get the invite to Detroit over Toledo) and play NU in the Pizza bowl

Toledo could not care less. They are going to the championship bowl.

Fine by me as long as we play in it next year.

So why play the season? This is not very well thought out. Do you think the Illini will be a Big 10 #4/5 with a new coach? And will Toledo be any good with a new coach? Lot's of questions to be answered first. I think Ball St is going to be a very good team this coming season, but I don't see them. And WMU is always good enough for bowl contention. I think I will just wait, play the games and take our chances.

What else is a bowl projection guy to do at this time?

I agree Ball St is going to be much tougher to beat this year...and its not like last year was easy!

We could have 7 to 13 wins next year just depending on if the ball bounces our way or not.

You sell Toledo way too short. They will be in for the national championship this year, and next year they will be an NFL team. After one year in the NFL under their belt, they will be in the Super Bowl. Book it.

Get a job and make a living like some of the rest of us?

Dude, your selling us a little short. We're already an NFL team.

CFN has NIU going to Boise to face off against Louisana Tech.

I would like that rematch. We weren't very good the year we played them.

Nice fans, though, a hell of a lot nicer than those suckholes from Jonesboro.

Of course, I doubt we'd see as many of them in Boise as we did 40 miles from Ruston.

Looks like they have Toledo against Arkansas State in the GoDaddy. What an insult! The least they could have projected was Toledo in a BCS bowl. However, I just got inside word that Toledo sent out a mass rejection letter to all of the bowls because they will be playing against New England in the Super Bowl next February.

Toledo's band in Mobile? Oh, the humanity. Better make sure the band wears protective goggles.... don't want any flutists losing an eye from flying beads.

I'm sure the sounds of all those Red Wolves fans howling will cause someone to fall on their *ss on Dauphin St.

Felonies for everyone!
