[NU Sports] Does ANYONE in the Lil' XII play defense?

[Jonathan Hodges]

By current BCS rule, 3 members of a single conference ARE allowed to be in
BCS games if the following occurs: #s 1 & 2 are not conference champions
(e.g. Georgia beats LSU, but LSU & Alabama remain in the top 2).  In your
scenario, as long as LSU remains in the top 2 of the BCS, it'll go to the
title game.

In any case, it was quite enjoyable watching all of the games last night
after seeing NU clinch bowl eligibility in comfortable fashion.
