[NU Sports] Why Root for Big Ten Losses?

[Mike Nolan]

> Why would Big Ten losses in non-conference games be a good thing for Northwestern?  For instance, how does a hypothetical Iowa loss to Iowa State help Northwestern?  As you put it, how does that help Northwestern in the Big Ten race?

Aside from the argument of a possible 2nd BCS slot for the conference, 
which is still not out of the question in 2007, though Michigan won't
be one of them, non-conference losses by other Big 10 teams could improve 
what bowl we get.
