Will there be 5-7 APR-qualified bowl teams this season?

[bringbacktherantboard]

Has anybody done the math to determine the likelihood of there being enough 6-win teams this season to fill all the slots? Nebraska was a 5-7 APR-qualifier one year, I think, so it has happened.

I'm going to that damned Wrigley game and I'd like, hypothetically, to still have something to cheer for (besides honor, of course).

There are currently 60 bowl eligible teams for 82 bowl slots. 25 teams are one win away from eligibility (we need at least four of those teams to lose out). There are teams 2 games away from eligibility and we need them to lose a game, too.

Of course there will be 5-7 bowl teams! Hope springs eternal!

And, for what it’s worth, NU with two straight would be blazing hot when they make it in.

Go Cats Go!

(The alternative is cheering for Purdue to score 63, thereby increasing the unlikely likelihood of a JON firing.)

It's unlikely, but it's possible. If Hawaii won out, they would get a bid at 6-7 over any 5-7 team, so they would also need to take a loss.

Won't have to worry about this after Saturday.

It doesn’t matter The Cats are not winning either game left on the schedule.
