We can worry about style points when we're competing for a playoff spot. Until then just score more than the other guys and don't worry about how it looks. GBR!

Hypothetical. What if we make the playoffs. Bowl drought officially continues since it's technically not a Bowl? Bowl eligible yes but won't actually be in a bowl

I quit stressing about style points, consecutive bowl game appearances, and team & individual stats & records sometime during the Callahan era. It was painful. Ever since it's just W's and L's.

First round is at home team stadium. Ever round after that is at a bowl game site

Right. So first round aren't bowl games. You lose first round, you made playoffs but TECHNICALLY not a bowl. That's going to mess up a lot of people's streaks. No?

They would classify it as making the post season. The #12 team that gets in isn't going to say we would rather go to a bowl game bc it could effect are bowl streak. Make a bowl game or playoff you continue your post season streak.

This is the way. Life is too short to be upset after wins. Heck, getting overly upset about losses probably isn't healthy either.

5-1 into the bye week is with a great freshman QB and some talent around him is a great situation to be in compared to where we've been.
