A few days after Ball State finished the regular season with a 12-0 record, folks around the Mid-American Conference began referring to the Cardinals as one of the best teams in league history.

Hogwash.

Elite programs don

It was because:

1) The MAC told them they wanted them to play in a MAC-partnered bowl

and (more importantly)

2) The Humanitarian Bowl is played in Boise... at Bronco Stadium...

Also!

3) "Teams are required to provide a corporate sponsor, purchase a minimum number of tickets, and stay at a selected hotel for a minimum stay. Because of this, 7-4 UCLA declined an invitation to the Humanitarian Bowl in 2001." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanitarian_Bowl

It's all moot

Buffalo and Turner Gill kicked their ass

Turner Gill may be the best coach out there....to turn Buffalo into the MAC champ may be the best coaching job EVER
