Good god, Bo making it to the FBS final game isn't as bad as some of you are making it seem. You are making it sound like we'd be competing for a N.C. this year if he was still here. I seriously doubt we would've been any closer with him here. The guy was/is a nutcase.
Top MVC teams would not go toe to toe with any division of any power 5 conference week in and week out. Injuries would set in and the 22 scholarship gap would become apparent.
There is no way I realistically believe that those teams would compete with the B1G West when NU can't even compete with the B1G West at times. We're wore down by the time November rolls around every year.
