The CFPC is likely not concerned about crowd size and ratings.  The lesser bowl committees are.

why is it that a favored NW team bothers me more than if they were the underdog...?

Because we usually suck when there are expectations

However, NU closed the regular season by beating 7 straight opponents as the underdog (Iowa, Michigan State) OR the favorite (everyone else) so maybe that's a good sign

That said, I fully expect Sparty to prevail tonight so let me apologize ahead of time should the 'Cats be the first team to eff up this B1G bowl winning streak ~???

Northwestern wins in nail-biting fashion, just like against Iowa and Sparty.  Sadly, they'll be without Thorson and Jackson next season.  Good luck replacing those two.

This bowl game might have been one of the worst officiated bowl games I've seen in sometime.   The Kentucky RB shouldn't have been kicked out of the game, NW safety didn't target, Kentucky had to get the refs to hold up the game for an injured player, NW made the first down on their last 4th down play.... and that doesn't include the inconsistent calls on DB's or Offensive lineman.  They took away from a good game.

Thorson is returning for his redshirt senior season.

Of course, the severity of his injury will dictate what if any playing time he gets.
