I was just thinking in this Bowl Season we had Purdue playing Central Michigan in their backward (Detroit). Michigan is playing Forida is their backward (Orlando). Ohio State is playing LSU in their backward (New Orleans). Illinois is playing USC in their backward (LA). So much for neutral fields. LOL!
