You'd think they will. That Kentucky game really makes me wonder about Kent State and I think common opponents generally speak well for NIU (army being the obvious exception...):
Akron: Kent St 35-24; NIU 37-7
Army: Kent St 31-17; NIU 41-40
Ball State: Kent St 45-43; NIU 35-23
Buffalo: Kent St 23-7; NIU 45-3
Eastern Michigan: Kent St 41-14; NIU 49-7
Western Michigan: Kent St 41-24; NIU 48-34
And, again, losing 18-17 to Iowa seems less egregious to me than losing 47-14 to Kentucky. I get that they've only lost one game, but losing by that much to a team that bad makes me wonder how exactly they're ranked in the top 20. I guess the win over Rutgers balances it out. But damn...
