Quote:It's not a complicated argument. You wouldn't say Northern Illinois deserves it because they went undefeated. I'd sill gave the nod to a one loss Big Ten, ACC, SEC team over them. It's the same argument. A 1 loss SEC team is probably better than a Big 10 undefeated. History has proven that.

 

NIU is not in a BCS conference, so it can't be used in your argument. Unlike Boise State a few years ago, NIU was never ranked in the top five this season. Nobody is saying a MAC team should get in the BCS NCG.

 

In 2007, the only undefeated FBS team was Hawaii. The BCS should have put two one-loss teams in the NCG, not one with two losses. And yes, there were one-loss teams in other conferences.
