I hope it is the First Responders Bowl right here in Ft Worth. I wouldn't have to pay plane fare or book a room.
What other ones would be an option?

If we win the next game, what is the likely bowl we are to be invited to?

That would be great. Will already be there for another engagement. Would work out perfectly.
Is the Redbox Bowl televised, or do I have to rent it at the grocery store a couple months later?

Very high likelihood that there will be 5 win teams that go bowling. Not sure what the pecking order is for the bowls but I know that nebraska would be in the top 5ish based on graduation rate .
Insightful. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your wisdom.
let me guess.. you are one of the people that watched last weeks game against a horrible team and now feel like we have turned the corner and all of a sudden become some good team. I know.. glass heart husker fans.. I'll try to treat you with kid gloves after the mauling on Friday
Going into this weekend there are 12 teams with 5-6 records. If more than five of them win, there won’t be enough bowl games for all of the eligible teams. But if there aren’t five winners, then there will be a few openings.
Here’s where those 12 teams stand and what their chances are to get that sixth win – and here’s who you need to root against if your 4-7 or 5-6 team has a high APR.
5-6 Teams That Will Be Bowl Eligible With A Win
Boston College at Pitt -9
Colorado at Utah -28.5
Kent State at Eastern Michigan -5.5
Michigan State -21.5 at Maryland
Mississippi State -3 vs. Ole Miss
Nebraska at Iowa -5
North Carolina -8 at NC State
Ohio -27.5 at Akron
Oregon State at Oregon -17.5
TCU -12.5 at West Virginia
Troy at Appalachian State -13
ULM at Louisiana -21
Let’s add one more special case to the mix. Missouri -11.5 at Arkansas. At the moment, Mizzou isn’t eligible to go to a bowl due to NCAA sanctions, but the NCAA is looking into – and taking its sweet time – possibly changing this.
There are only four favorites out of the 12 teams that need a win this weekend. There will be upsets, and there’s a strong chance that at least five teams win and the bowl problem is solved. However, if fewer than five teams win, it comes down to the APR.
Which teams are in line for a bowl game because their respective players went to class a few years ago? Here’s who’s still alive …
APR Rankings For Bowl Eligibility
The teams below are the ones in the mix if the APR factor kicks in.
If a team is 4-7 and wins this weekend to get to 5-7, it’s in the APR eligibility world. A 4-7 team is out with a loss.
Again, if the 5-6 teams on this list win, they’re eligible. But if any of them lose, there’s still the lifeline of the APR ranking.
Longwinded article way of saying … if there aren’t enough bowl eligible teams to fill out the 78 slots, this would be the pecking order. The number in parentheses is the APR ranking of the school overall, followed by the APR score, followed by record.

You can take Stanford off the list, the Pac 12 does not allow 5-win teams from their conference to go.

A return to Foster Farms, now Redbox at Levi Stadium would get my vote. The venue is great — except parking — and we have good memories after beating a decent UCLA team last time. Playing in Detroit? Is that really a reward?
Too bad UCLA wouldn’t be opponent again, as teacher vs pupil coaching matchup would be interesting. So would Herm Edwards vs Frost and ASU might be a possibility, especially if they lose to UA on Saturday.

Hopefully the Pinstripe Bowl in Yankee Stadium. Would be a 40 min ride to get there.
Mizzou just had their appeal denied. Sadly, all 75 diehard Missouri fans are upset.
Probably the Pinstripe Bowl in NY or the Detroit Bowl. Who knows with all the tie ins and non eligible teams though maybe they could end up somewhere warm... Bahama bowl?
