and theres no question Neb would be the first one picked at 5-7.


I think there's an academic requirement

from all the sites ive seen..Neb is either 1st or 2nd on APR scores out of the 5 win team or 4-6 teams. And obviously would have the fan base to be selected.

Potentially could have several 5 win teams in.

Forget the 5-7 teams, let's matchup Kansas and UCF.

Winner gets extra practice time. Loser drops to FCS.

Buffalo loses to 3-9 UMASS and joins the 5-7 ranks.

Now we have 9 more five win teams and one 4 loss team with 2 games to go. Still 8 slots need to be filled.

you missed a team somewhere in there

remaining teams w/a chance

5-6 Tulsa @ 3-8 Tulane
5-6 East Carolina vs 6-5 Cincinnati
5-6 Va Tech @ 4-7 Virginia
5-6 Indiana @ 3-8 Purdue
5-6 Minny vs 8-3 Wisky
5-6 Illinois vs 9-2 Northwestern
5-6 Kentucky vs 6-5 Louisville
5-6 Old Dominion vs 2-9 Florida Atlantic
5-6 Georgia State @ 7-3 Georgia Southern
5-5 South Alabama @ 7-3 GSU / vs 8-2 App St

Buffalo blowing the game vs UMass is a kick to the nuts on stopping a 5-7 team making a bowl.

Almost half of the remaining teams with 5 wins are underdogs so there will be a few 5 win bowl teams.

We just dont know if they will go by APR or not. Vandy would be a lock there but I doubt they get by UT.

And yeah I missed USA which has a good shot of dropping their last two.

UPDATE: Tulane with 14 unanswered to go ahead of 5-6 Tulsa.

5-7 NEB vs a 5-7 K-State would be interesting. First game I attended live was 98 Neb vs KSU. Micheal Bishop and Eric Crouch.

Bishop was also dumb as a rock

The throw he made in the dome vs aTm was maybe best one I ever saw live.

Sorry, but the Boca Raton Bowl does not diminish the Rose Bowl. Pull the shoulder pads out of your vagina.

bowls arent rewards for players

they are a way for cities to drum up tourism in the winter

As a Husker fan I don't believe we deserve to go to a bowl but I would have no problem going to one.

Outside of the playoffs the bowl games don't mean anything.

Extra practice for the team.

Chance to play in front of people who may not normally get a chance to see you play

Extra revenue.
