Nitz: NIU football doesn't deserve to be ranked - yet
After watching Northern Illinois throttle Massachusetts, 63-0, Saturday, I wrote a column describing the Huskies as the best team in the Mid-American Conference.
When both major polls came out Sunday, NIU was ranked 26th by the Associated Press and had the same ranking in the USA Today Coaches Poll, despite being 9-1 and earning nine straight wins.
The Huskies’ opponent next week, Toledo, is 23rd in the AP Poll, 25th with the coaches.
