It's not just a Panther State, it's a Panther Nation
We have a new #1! Life's funny sometimes!
With Illinois's untimely (and distressingly un-upset-like) defeat of Ohio State, the nation is scrambling for a new #1. Is it undefeated Kansas? Is it Oklahoma? Is it the chainsaw-dicked LSU?
No, no, and no. It's none of the three. As a matter of fact, the team with the best claim to the crown isn't even in a BCS conferece. As a matter of fact, it's Northern Iowa.
Allow me to explain.
Ohio State was an unquestioned #1.
Illinois beat OSU. Illinois would have a claim, but...
Iowa beat Illinois earlier this year. Iowa would have a claim, but...
Iowa State beat Iowa even earlier. Iowa State would have a claim, but....
Northern Iowa beat Iowa State to open the season this year. UNI would have a claim, but...
But...
But nobody's beaten UNI this year! They're #1 in the "Championship Sub-Division" and quite unobjectionably unbeaten.
The answer is clear, my fellow Ted Sheehans. Do you vote for a butt-fucking quitter LSU team with a loss (Quel horreur!), or do you reward the unbeaten? I think I know the answer!
Vote Northern Iowa #1. The Championship Subdivision requires nothing less.

I'm glad
I'm not the only one who thought this out. But then my brain locked up and demanded rum.
So considering that OSU is out of the national title race, and now our big 10 bowl eligible teams are clawing for those 7 spots, is this the nightmare scenario we were all looking towards?
