With all of the talk about some 5-7 teams making a bowl game, will Texas have a shot with wins over Baylor and Oklahoma?

I heard there win percentage keeps them out irregardless from the announcers. Would be great If your right.

Must be more at work there than I'm aware of. If it's just a matter of having 5 wins, they would have to be in.

Baylor shoul've had their RB play QB...that kid had a cannon compared to the WR they had in there. Threw it about 50 yards that last play.

That percent they were discussing had to do with academics. The academics standing or improvement thing they use in college basketball I believe. They listed about 8 teams who were 5-7 with the best percentages and Texas did not make the list. Not sure if they were only including teams already 5-7. I did not hear the whole conversation.

Texas has to have the best wins of any sub .500 team in the country. How many other teams (regardless of how many wins they have) can claim wins over a playoff team and a top 15 team? And one win was on a neutral field and the other was on the road. Crazy.

This is what I was thinking when I posted the question. I would be surprised if they did not make it.

Unless other 5-7 teams ahead of them turn down the bid, Texas is done.

Texas was 8th of the 5-7 teams based on their APR. Nebraska was first and K state was second. A lot of teams have to decline before texas goes bowling.

SIAP, but is there a specific ranking or set of criteria to determine who would eligible?

Why because vBucks!?

I cannot imagine why you'd want Bama and the SEC in the play offs.

No. Because if ND won last weekend they'd be a lock for the playoffs. Meaning ND pissed away a playoff shot in 30 seconds last week, that's why.

I mean yeah we did.

But that doesn't mean we want everything we despise about CFB in the play offs...

Georgia State became the 76th BCS team to become Bowl Eligible winning their 6th game today.


KSU and South Alabama, both 5-7, also have a chance for their 6th wins today.

Currently KSU trails WVU by 10 early in the 3rd Q.

USA is an 18 point dog to App St tonight.
