You're hurting yourself The NCAA just made up the APR decision a few years ago - it's not a rule that has been written down and passed the Rules Committee. They could easily make up a different rule this year, but I don't expect them to. Quote Link to comment

Because we travel so well, and bc/ it would be better TV I could see us getting an invite regardless of 'the rules.' This would not ever happen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Somebody find a loophole that could sneak us in on a technicality! Surely there is some language that can be twisted to our benefit! /sarcasm /but seriously, somebody do it Quote Link to comment

Not really relevant, since this whole topic is based on the condition we win the games, so there. Also, 30% and 15% my a$$. MY completely made up "I have a feeling" percentages are 80% and 70% which means we have a 56% chance of winning the next 2 games. 1 Quote Link to comment

I would be fine if they are excluded. They re not good enough to be in the playoff. Smoke Navy by 30 then maybe. Quote Link to comment

UCF hasn't looked as dominant this season, and they still have 2 of their 3 toughest games ahead of them not counting the conference championship (if they win their division). If Cincinnati beats them they'll have the tie breaker. Quote Link to comment

The probability of us going to a bowl game could still be calculated based on the remaining games for the contenders and plugging in 100% probability that we win the last 2 or any best guess percentage. I'm just too lazy to refresh my math knowledge and do the calculations. Maybe I'll do it at work tomorrow to kill time but I really hate thinking at work. I don't mean to hurt your feelings but your 80% and 70% are irrelevant since the topic was based on us getting to 5 wins 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm just not willing to do it. I'm just gonna guess there's a 0.00000001% chance 13 of the teams go 0-2. Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Didn't Nebraska have a great apr score Riley's first year from bo's tenure? What happened? Did kids not have to lift weights or go to class? What exactly did Riley do again? Quote Link to comment

If you really hate Riley you can give Pelini credit for Riley's only bowl win here. I heard a story... I think it was from a professor but it was so long ago it might've just been here, that sometimes Pelini would show up to class and he would sometimes make the players sit in the front row. He would also sometimes show up while they were being tutored. 1 Quote Link to comment
jager Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Despite Pelini’s flaws, he made sure the players went to class and graduated. Apparently that’s something Riley didn’t do. 2 Quote Link to comment
