Automatic is bold...remember that before Frost it used to be 4 non-conf games which gave each team an extra cupcake win. Once divisions go away and B10 adds some other good teams 9 wins won't be viewed in the same way as it will be tougher to achieve, and already was once the B10 went to 9 conf games.I still hold the belief that winning 9+ should be automatic at NU, even through the Riley and Frost tenures. If Rhule cannot get NU to at least bowl eligibility year one, I think I’ll finally accept that NU is not the Taj Mahal I think it is.
