Moiraine Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Scoff all you want. (Edit: What I meant is scoff to yourself). I find this stuff fun. I will update this every week until Nebraska is eliminated from bowl eligibility. There are 39 bowls (including the quarterfinals) for 78 teams. As of Oct. 20 there are 81 teams that need between 0 and 2 more wins to be bowl eligible or get to 5 wins and are ahead of us in APR. 28 of the 81 are bowl eligible now. 23 are 1 win away. As of Oct. 25 there are 83 teams that need between 0 and 2 more wins to be bowl eligible or get to 5 wins and are ahead of us in APR. 29 of the 83 are bowl eligible now. 23 are 1 win away. As of Oct. 27 there are 92 teams that need between 0 and 2 more wins to be bowl eligible or get to 5 wins and are ahead of us in APR. 37 of the 92 are bowl eligible now. 25 are 1 win away. If we consider 5 win teams ahead of us in APR as bowl eligible: 42 of the 92 are bowl eligible now. 24 are 1 win away. As of Nov. 3 there are 97 teams that need between 0 and 2 more wins to be bowl eligible or get to 5 wins and are ahead of us in APR. 48 of the 97 are bowl eligible now. 29 are 1 win away. If we consider 5 win teams ahead of us in APR as bowl eligible: 52 of the 97 are bowl eligible now. 29 are 1 win away. As of Nov. 10 there are 90 teams that need between 0 and 1 more wins to be bowl eligible or get to 5 wins and are ahead of us in APR. If we consider 5 win teams ahead of us in APR as bowl eligible: 66 of the 90 are bowl eligible now. 24 are 1 win away. 6 Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Nebraska would need to win out in order to guarantee bowl eligibility, correct? And, they'd only be able to count BC as a victory (assuming that happens) if BC has awarded at least 90% of their available scholarships over the last two seasons, I believe (I think they would count as a win towards bowl eligibility but I'm not 100% sure).

I assume Nebraska would have made sure BC met this requirement. There is a very small chance Nebraska could get to a bowl with 5 wins. I'm guessing it won't happen but I'm going to keep track anyway. These are the teams ahead of Nebraska in APR that don't already have 5 wins. All of the 3, 4, and 5 win teams are included in the 81 team total that is 0 to 2 wins away from bowl eligibility. 2 Quote Link to comment

We aren’t on the football team. It doesn’t effing matter if we talk about possibilities, and talking about them doesn’t mean we actually think they’re going to happen. Stop being wet blankets.

I thought with my little message in the OP it would prevent useless comments like this. That's RATIONAL talk. It has no place on HuskerBoard. Sadly, we still have too many people who actually believe in "jinxing" and other forms of superstition (even in the sports world among players themselves). I'm not one of them, but I know there are plenty of them out there. Quote Link to comment

When we get disqualified I'm going to quote your OP and say something like "this didn't age well" and I'll get like 13 +1s. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Old Nebraska Guy Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Good Luck, I too enjoy this kind of stuff. I started something like this last year and it got moved out of the football forum to another. After the move even I had a hard time finding it so I gave up on any updates. Maybe with your rep it will stay here. Quote Link to comment

Old Nebraska Guy Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Question...Does Old Miss have a bowl ban in place? Cause I count 82 possible teams unless Old Miss (5-3) is banned. Quote Link to comment

It will age well regardless of your pooptastic reply, because I already said I’d stop it once we’re not bowl eligible and I didn’t say I think we would go to a bowl so there. 6 minutes ago, Old Nebraska Guy said: Question...Does Old Miss have a bowl ban in place?

Yep Keep on keeping on. Some cant help but be a wet blanket. Without topics like this the board would run out of things to talk about. I think if people dont like a thread then dont open and dont read it. No need to s#!t on it. So the next time one of the wet blankets think about commenting- stop-reflect and go about your day elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment
