USA Today: Northern Illinois Is A BCS Team Years In The Making
Outstanding story in today's USA Today.

"The Huskies know what's on the line – not just respect for this specific team, but also the chance to use a BCS berth as a launching pad. That's something two other teams from non-AQ leagues, Boise State and TCU, did in recent years."

Nice article. It contains a lot of quotes and insights that I haven't necessarily heard a hundred times before.

Yup, and we have almost three more weeks of it to come until the Orange Bowl!

Myerberg does indeed do a great job. His weekly ranking of every team in college football is consistently really well done.

I read today that Texas A&M estimates they've received $15 million of exposure since Manziel won the Heisman. I'd say were probably double or triple that since our Orange Bowl announcement last Sunday.
