the problem with ksu getting in is it takes away a decent matchup for the sugar bowl (florida/oklahoma) and replaces it with a "let's see florida maul a big east team" thus infecting two of the bowls instead of the usual orange bowl clunker

also, the rose bowl isn't exactly going to be must-see television either

If Kent wins they will be in the BCS. If NIU wins they probably won't be.

If KSU gets into a BCS bowl it'd be the Oklahoma-UConn Fiesta Bowl all over again, only worse. The game would be filed as human manslaughter and women and children wouldn't be allowed to watch lol.

Kent State's all the way up at No. 17, meaning a win over NIU would put them in very good shape to make the BCS, especially if UCLA loses. Don't count Boise State or NIU out yet, either. Sooners fans should probably root for Northern Illinois and Nevada and UCLA this weekend, though.

I hope they get in. I'd love to see Kent State in a BCS bowl game.

No chance at a win. Unless they really play against Florida; then Kent State by whatever score they want.

I'm pulling for Kent State for this reason.

ESPN is a worthless bitch "news" network that's only watchable during the precise periods of time when games are on. Halftime or pre/post game shows take over...change the channel.

I'm glad you didn't tell me to take that to the bank. Would have been awkward when the bank couldn't cash that check
