I'm cheering for NIU! Sick people saying that a team doesn't deserve to play against the big boys! I hope NIU blows out Fstate and then tells the orange bowl to kick rocks!

Without the offending Orange Bowl Rep's name, I'm not gonna get too worked up over this. If the encounter was as dramatic as suggested, someone would have reported a name. Or perhaps we're looking at yet another example of lazy journalism.
Spot on dude!
This. They only be Army by 1 and KU by 7. It would be like our 2003 team getting into the BCS.

Whether they "deserve" to be there or not, I don't know how anyone without a personal connection to one of the teams could be rooting for FSU. Always pull for the little guy.... this win would make those guys' decade
Agreed. I think it's a joke that they're in a BCS game. Not at all the same circumstances as TCU. NIU got in on a fluke rule that has never happened before. I kinda hope FSU kills them just to prove a point. Several more deserving teams should have had that slot.

This. Almost everythuing said about NIU was once said about us. College football is nothing but a beauty pageant, StonyBrook and Kent State made the CWS interesting, but would not happen under current football climate.

Not to me. Had we lost only one game last year we would have been in.
Regardless, seems unreal to have a bowl rep get in a pissing match with a team rep AT the event...

Which fluke rule, RGIII?
We got in to the RB automatically because of the top 16, ahead of conference champ rule, if that's the one you are referring to.

I actually like FSU, but I hope the Huskies blow them out. The hubris expressed over the past month or so has been disgusting.

Like who?
We were undefeated.

OU, several SEC teams (yes, I know they can only have two)

But the reason we were automatically in was that we won our non-AQ conference, finished in BCS top 16, and finished above an AQ champ, same as NIU this year, and Utah in 05, Boise in 07, Hawaii in 08, Utah in 09, Boise in 10.
Not a "fluke rule that has never happened before".

FSU reeks of entitlement. My parlay card is set with 3 wins today now I need the Huskies upset.

I believe all the previous teams got in because they were in the top 12 (or something like that). The fact that the Big East champ wasn't in the top whatever didn't factor in.
This was a different clause that got NIU in I believe
