Northwestern is #25 in the AP poll. So at least it will be advertised on ABC as a game between two ranked teams. That's always good when trying to get voters to move you up, even one spot. Being #26 just shows up as unranked...where as #10 vs. #25 looks a lot more impressive, even though it really isn't. We need every vote we can get from the coach's and harris poll. And two straight wins agasint top 25 teams will likely gain us some votes, and I would also assume take votes away from Notre Dame. Every vote counts in the BCS, and it looks like we could end up being very close to getting that #6 spot if we win out.
Plus, it's also a lot more fun to play a ranked team.
