ESPN 10 hottest non-aq

Didn't MTSU beat Maryland the other year? Not that beating Maryland is such a great accomplishment.

can't argue with that. when was the last time we beat a BCS school.

can't wait for the Tech game!

MTSU had a slightly higher final Sagarin than us last year.

They were 10-3 and ranked just above us in Sagarin.

I can tell you that MTSU gave ACC runner-up Clemson all they wanted in a game that was a lot closer than the 37-14 score indicates. They open at home against Minnesota and the Gophers could find a trap waiting for them.

You don't watch much Clemson football. They played that game on cruise control. Completely uninspired...and drew the ire of their new coach.

10. Northern Illinois. Fifteen starters return, including first-team All-MAC RB Chad Spann and most of a defense that ranked No. 30 in the nation last season.

Does not seem all that impressive. Schumann had us at the 14th best defense one year and the 22nd best defense another year. What did that get us (other than Bennett).

MTSU beat Jay Cutler's "greatest ever" Vanderbilt team a couple of years ago (the onlyu Vandy team to beat Tennessee in decades). They can beat some AQ teams...
