3-5 No Bowling in 2015 for Nebraska

[HuskerinBig10]

So disappointing.

Might be able to beat Rutgers.
Should be able to beat Purdue.
Won't beat Michigan State or Iowa.

What will the fan base do with a 4-8 season?

I think the fan base will let a 5-7 season slide. But a repeat of that in 2016 will not be forgiven.

Gotta win 3 out of 4

Not looking good

Wasn't there some new thing now where 5-win teams are getting into bowls?

LOL

 

[HuskerPower52]

But we are Nebraska

 

[it'sHuskers4me]

We need to do things the "Nebraska Way" give all these coaches & administrative Fvckers a raise and contract extensions then fire them.

LOL

lol

I know, it's pathetic. But I'm pretty sure there are so many bowls now that 5-loss teams are getting in. I think I remember people complaining about it last year.

The 95 team is at Barry's right now laughing at this crap

It's 5 wins against D-1 and 1 against a shit division

On August 2, 2012, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved a significant change to the process to determine bowl eligible teams, going so far as to potentially allow 5-7 teams to go to a bowl, in case there were not enough regular bowl-eligible teams to fill every game. If a bowl has one or more conferences/teams unable to meet their contractual commitments and there are no available bowl-eligible teams, the open spots can be filled – by the particular bowl's sponsoring agencies – as follows:[10]

1. Teams finishing 6-6 with one win against a team from the lower Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), regardless of whether that FCS school meets NCAA scholarship requirements. Until now, an FCS win counted only if that opponent met the scholarship requirements—specifically, that school had to award at least 90% of the FCS maximum of 63 scholarship equivalents over a two-year period. In the 2012 season, programs in four FCS conferences cannot meet the 90% requirement (56.7 equivalents)—the Ivy League, which prohibits all athletic scholarships; the Patriot League and Pioneer Football League, which do not currently award football scholarships; and the Northeast Conference, which limits football scholarships to 38 equivalents.
2. 6-6 teams with two wins over FCS schools.
3. Teams that finish 6-7 with loss number seven in their conference championship game (that has been eliminated by the conference championship waiver rule).
4. 6-7 teams that normally play a 13-team schedule, such as Hawaii's home opponents. Although Hawaii normally plays a 13-game schedule, it only played 12 games this season.
5. FCS teams who are in the final year of the two-year FBS transition process, if they have at least a 6-6 record.
6. Finally, 5-7 teams that have a top-5 Academic Progress Rate (APR) score. This was later adjusted to allow other 5-7 teams to be selected thereafter—in order of their APR. [11]

What in theeeee hell does that even mean?

What in theeeee hell does that even mean?

It means IF there are still bowl slots available after all (6-6) teams have filled. They will consider 5 win teams.

A 5 win team that is Top 5 in Academic Progress Rate gets priority.

If none of the 5 win teams are Top 5 in Academic Progress Rate, they chose in order of highest Academic Progress Rate.

I.E. Teams with highest GPA and graduation rates will get priority.

Team A: #34 in APR
Team B: #22 in APR

Team B will be chosen.

Alright, so we must go 3-4 then the rest of the way.

CLEAR CUT IDENTITY.

We don't have it.

 

[Brasky]

We have it on Defense.

Offense is just gonna have to play itself out for a loooong time.

Shawn Eichorst signed us up for this.

We just do not have the right quarterback.

This team could've won us 9 games easy. Yes.

This recruiting class is crucial.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

3-1 I mean

 

[Red_Alert]

3-1 I mean

I knew what you meant.

Yes, they must win 3 out of 4.

Any season under .500 is unacceptable. Don't care if it's the first one, I wouldn't let it slide.

Does Riley understand the importance of even going to a shit-bowl?

Just the extra 3-4 weeks of practice is huge.

At Oregon St he only went to bowls 2 out of his last 5 years.
