For the first time in program history, Northern Illinois doesn't have to look beyond the top 25 at the end of the season to see where it stands among college football's top programs.

Coming off a 12-2 season that finished with a 31-10 loss to Florida State in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, NIU finished the season ranked No. 22 in the final Associated Press poll, and No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches poll.

The Huskies were previously ranked No. 16 in both polls, but fell six spots after their loss to the Seminoles.
