Based on APR score calculation and a presumed
5-6 spots available for 5 win teams, Nebraska would get a bowl bid.

As of now, Nebraska would be in a bowl at 5-7

Wow. What kind of bowl takes a 5 win team. Who the hell sponsors that?
Whatever we need the extra practices.

I believe there are 41 bowl games.
The answer to your question would be “the one that we should gladly accept and then go win that thing!”
Lending Tree Bowl took 5-7 Rice last year. If there is a sub .500 slot available this year, Nebraska is a no-brainer.
Maybe but we need the practice. And I'll still watch us in agony as we get beat by some lower level MAC team.
which was sadly better than the Frost era.
Riley's biggest gaffs was taking too long to integrate his system. He muddled around with the RPO offense for 2 years and then switch his defense going into year 3. He had already ran out of time.
It doesn't look good. It just takes a few 5-win teams below us in APR to knock us out. We need to win on Friday!
His biggest gaf was letting the AD dictate who his DC was. Firing Banker and hiring Diaco was a HUGE mistake.
Converting your defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4 in an offseason is just insanity.
https://n.rivals.com/news/examining-mike-riley-s-failure-to-develop-a-qb-at-nebraska He changed his O to fit the players he had, namely Armstrong. Ironically, with all the complaining about not having a quality QB now, this is not a new issue, see link.
I wonder how things would have gone had he started POB and brought in another QB before Tanner. The system would have been in place rather than change things whole-sale 3 years in.
Ohh God please don’t mention his name..
And then he was fired,
But that was overdue and was probably happening with our without the change in OC.
We might be doing a conversion of our own IF D Cord T.W. takes a head coaching position somewhere, I have a bad feeling this is why this team has looked tired since the Michigan State game.
This is interesting to me. From a philosophical stand point if White moves on do you hire the best DC available regardless of scheme or do you focus on primarily 3-3-5 guys for continuity purposes
James Madison cannot go to a bowl. They haven't been a FBS team long enough.
Someone on another thread mentioned D.J Durkin( A&M D Cord) as a replacement. However, If players like Robinson or Nash move on forget about running any defense with 3 down lineman.
Depends who stays on the Dline and who leaves for greener pasture..probably try to at least get the best out there.
Pretty sure if there isn't enough 6 win teams, a bowl can invite them to fill in

I mean what kid will want to take a chance by committing to a school, when you literally don’t know if you will have the same coaches next year.
It’s no wonder we continue to circle the drain. Turnover, turnover, turnover…
Bring back Mickey, yeah I said it. We need talent and a better wr coach. Is he still in Lincoln?
We have to win Friday. We backed ourselves into a corner for the final time and literally everything is riding on this game. Hopefully the coaches figure out how to coach...
I like how you have such a high level of self importance to routinely tell others to take a hike when your feelings get hurt by something they post. Can we see your message board chief of police badge?
Hard to say but this speaks to the "coach needs to adapt to the players he has" group which Riley did and Satterfield is doing now.
Zach Arnett is a 3-3-5 guy. Just got fired as head coach of MSU, good DC.
I believe if you try to be something you're not, you end up being nothing, which seemed to have happened with Riley.
I don't think Sat went too far in that direction but is towing the line.

We already beat a lower level MAC team this season, so bring on the mighty MAC teams.
Frost screwed us all when he let the team (and Adrian didn’t help)turn down a bowl at five wins. Frost used the idea that Martinez and the team was too banged up. I still can’t understand why we let AM come back to the athletic department.
A other reason we are no longer a blue blood… fans are working out how a 5-7 Nebraska team can make a bowl game. Truly pathetic you losers are happy with losing
I read that the probationary D-I teams would get first dibs-- so James Madison and Jacksonville State would get the first two spots.
So you think that some anonymous posters on a message board has that much of effect on the actual performance of the team?
