I normally don't acquiesce, but in this instance I agree. It has BCS implications.
Hope N. Illinois wins!

Akron: Kent St 35-24; NIU 37-7 Army: Kent St 31-17; NIU 41-40 Ball State: Kent St 45-43; NIU 35-23 Buffalo: Kent St 23-7; NIU 45-3 Eastern Michigan: Kent St 41-14; NIU 49-7 Western Michigan: Kent St 41-24; NIU 48-34 And, again, losing 18-17 to Iowa seems less egregious to me than losing 47-14 to Kentucky. I get that they've only lost one game, but losing by that much to a team that bad makes me wonder how exactly they're ranked in the top 20. I guess the win over Rutgers balances it out. But damn... |

I just want to see Kent crash the party. People seem to love cinderella in basketball but hate her in football. I don't get it.

The other difference is people care more about football. People want the best team(s) to play for the Championship. For basketball it's a tournament and people don't really care as much. Could you imagine the outrage if a team that was 0.500 in conference play was in the BCS National Championship game?

CFB simply isn't used to that kind of parity... hell, they just now accepted a plus 1. A CBB team can have a couple of bad losses on their resume and still get a 1 seed... and something like that is supposed to completely eliminate a CFB team. Also, relatively unknown CBB teams have been known to compete with top 25 teams for years... but, Kent State football? I generally don't like Cinderella teams.... at least in CBB, there are generally at least a handful of teams worthy of NC talk, so if one goes down, it's not a huge deal. In CFB, mentioning 3 teams is stretching it some years, so I think people simply prefer seeing those few teams play each other.
