[NU Sports] Polls and Bowls

[Beamsley, Jeff]

A trip to Detroit would not be such a bad thing.
 
I've ignored some of the digs on Detroit that have popped up over the past couple of weeks on this list.  Just wanted to take a moment to stand up for the D.  
 
Ford Field is one of the best indoor venue's in the country.
 
Good hotels to stay within walking distance of Ford Field.  Lots of young folks living down here now (95% residential occupancy rate) which means lots of cool new shops, bars, and places to eat.  Michael Symon's Roast and 24Grille at the Westin Book-Cadillac  are nationally recognized resturaunts.  Also hot and cold running casinos for the gambling crowd.  
 
We'd likely play Northern Illinois who score A LOT.

With some of the teams above them guaranteed to lose next week (conf
championship games), Michigan is in good shape to sneak into top 14, which
any sensical BCS bowl will likely snap up.

This would mean just 1 Big Ten team doesn't get a conf-affiliated spot, and
my money's on Illinois.  That means it depends on how far PSU falls and if
Houston wants them; NU would have a decent shot there if they pass on PSU,
otherwise it looks like a trip to Detroit is in the cards (since I doubt
Dallas wants NU for 2nd straight year).  But, nobody knows for sure until
exactly 1 week from now.
