and how about Kent State. Going from what would have been THEIR Orange Bowl bid all the way down to the GoDaddy.com bowl in Mobile.

They're a fun offense to watch, but mostly they've played against crap MAC defenses. I think they would be undefeated if they had played Iowa later instead of first since it took a couple games for them to get into their swing. I'll be curious to see what their QB Jordan Lynch does against FSU. I predict it will be like Georgia-Hawaii a few years back, but they could pull a Boise State instead. Part of me really wants to see the ACC flop so I'll pull for NIU.
