VA Husker Fan Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 This is the thread to track whether a 5-7 team (us) will get into a bowl. Look, I know at 5-7 we don't deserve a bowl. But let's not discuss that here, nor how the whole bowl system should be overhauled. Please, keep it on track. And don't whine if I call you out for getting off track with the same old arguments. And no, I'm not excited about this. But I am interested. If you're not, just skip this thread. Washington wins to go 6-6, so they get a bowl. Missouri loses and drops to 5-7. San Jose St is about to lose and go 5-7. 5-6 Buffalo down by 11 late in the 3rd. Georgia St still alive at 5-6 but they probably won't be favored next week again Georgia Southern. Texas dropped to 4-7 last night. Seems like more of the border teams are taking themselves out than not, so we may back into a bowl. Anyone do a count yet? I probably will later tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Remaining teams (all 5-6 unless otherwise noted) Tulsa plays Tulane (3-8) tonight. Tomorrow's games: ECU vs Cincinnati (6-5) Indiana at Purdue (2-9) Old Dominion vs FAU (2-9) Virginia Tech at Virginia (4-7) Kentucky vs Louisville (6-5) Louisiana Lafayette (4-6) vs. App St (8-2) and Troy (3-8) next week, need to win both South Alabama (5-5) vs Georgia Southern (7-3) and App St (8-2) next week, just needs 1 win Illinois vs Northwestern (9-2) Minnesota vs Wisconsin (8-3) Kansas St (4-6) at Kansas (0-10) and West Virginia (6-4), need to win both Pretty sure that's everyone still eligible, without resorting to 5-7 teams. 1 Quote Link to comment

Wins against lower division teams no longer count. Add Georgia St vs Georgia Southern (7-3 currently) next week http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jerry-palm/25353577/bowling-2015-bowl-eligibility-tracker 10 teams for 8 slots. I think Northwestern, Wisconsin and Georgia Southern (in both of their games),will win for 4 losses and 2 toss-ups (ECU and Kentucky) If 3 teams lose, Nebraska is the top APR team, and I am pretty sure the only one with a victory over a top ten ranked team. 1 Quote Link to comment
Husker67 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 80 teams are going to bowls, and we are sweating out the opportunity to go to one as a 5-7 team. Damn, this program is right where we want it. Ready to take that next step. Quote Link to comment

That links says you can still have one win count against lower level teams: * Boston College and North Carolina each defeated two FCS teams, which means they will need seven total wins to become bowl eligible. Teams can only count one such win toward the six needed for eligibility. They cannot be eligible under the provision that allows teams that finish 5-7 to play in bowls. For some reason the article omitted teams (K State and ULaLa) that are 2 wins away but still in the running. Quote Link to comment
RunMickeyRun02 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 From what I've gathered from VA Husker Fan, huKSer and the CBS sports site I have this, tell me how far off I am: In: 74/80 <--Totally basing this off of the CBS article, could be inaccurate. Good Shot: Need 1 Win, 2 games left (5-5): South Alabama -- Week 13: at Georgia Southern, Week 14: Appalachian State On the bubble (5-6): Indiana -- Week 13: at Purdue Virginia Tech -- Week 13: at Virginia Minnesota -- Week 13: Wisconsin Illinois -- Week 13: Northwestern Old Dominion -- Week 13: Florida Atlantic East Carolina -- Week 13: Cincinnati Kentucky -- Week 13: Louisville Georgia State -- Week 14: at Georgia Southern Need Two Wins: (4-6) Kansas State: Week 13: Kansas, Week 14: West Virginia La-Lafeyette: Week 13: at App State, Week 14: Troy Out as of now: Nebraska, Mizzery, San Jose State, Army, Ball State, Boston College, Buffalo, Colorado, Eastern Michigan, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Fresno State, Georgia Tech, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa State, Kansas, Kent State, Maryland, Massachusetts, Miami-Ohio, New Mexico State, North Texas, Oregon State, Purdue, SMU, South Carolina, Syracuse, Texas, Texas State, Troy, Tulane, UL Monroe, UNLV, UT San Antonio, UTEP, UCF, Virginia, Wake Forest, Wyoming, Charlotte (transitioning to FBS), * Boston College and North Carolina each defeated two FCS teams Edit: Fixed Georgia State per VA Huskers post after mine. Edited: with latest finals 2 Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 I think that's right, and easy to read. A nit, Georgia State wasn't off this week, they won yesterday. Quote Link to comment
louisianared Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I think South Alabama loses both, ULL loses to App State, Minnesota loses to Wisconsin, ECU loses to Cincinnati, Kentucky to Louisville, Georgia State to Georgia Southern and Illinois to Northwestern. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Agree, and I don't know that K St wins out either.. A couple of them could go either way, but I think we're going to see more than one 5-7 team in. They need 7 of 11 teams to win, and probably only 3 are favored. Quote Link to comment
cornographic Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 What bowl(s) take 5-7 teams?(I'm afraid to ask). Quote Link to comment
RunMickeyRun02 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Halftime update. Kentucky up 24-7, FAU 24-10 over OD, VT/VIR 6-6 at half time, hard to root against Beamer, IU 24-14 up on Purdue, ECU/Cincy 10-6 All but FAU is bad news Quote Link to comment
