7-5 record beats a 6-6 record

but overall, G5 and P5 programs need to stop playing FCS teams. Let FCS teams play each other (same could be said about G5 teams) and of course, ideally, it would be beneficial for P5 teams (indy teams included in that) to play P5 schedule only.

Crazy that Bama plays The Citadell at home this weekend. Week after, close out with rival Auburn Tigers/Eagle. 🙂

Too bad. I was looking forward to playing North Texas

i mean i want BYU to go bowling, but in general it should be more exclusive.

I wish all 6-6 & 7-5 would be left out.

Wyoming had a great team in '96, finished rankings #22, and didn't go bowling

Wow that is fascinating. That season 1995 the WAC had a 4-way tie for first

Yep...and again, Wyoming at 10-2 left out of '96 and was really an underrated

So it seems like the old too system was too harsh if there was no bowl for a

Well, in that case it was too harsh, but it was also an exception.

There was less bowel games back than.

Oops Bowl...Ha

That's all you think needs to be corrected in your post. 😹

No team (including BYU) should go to a bowl with a 6-6 record. There are too

Why? You don't have to watch. I'd be fine if there were bowls for 2-10 teams.

Bowl games should be rewards for a very good season not losing half your games.

Costanza

11/13/18 10:14am

That’s not why bowl games exist.

Everyman

One teeny-tiny problem. Only 3 bowl games sell well anymore. CFP semi's & final.

I do agree those teams need more practice. Let them practice.

Costanza

Meh. Extra football is always a good thing. No matter how meaningless

No. If you are watching Georgia State vs. Western Kentucky in the Cure Bowl

I meant extra BYU football. But for fans of any team in a bowl game, it's a

I think Mandel simply forgot about BYU because we are Indy

CaliWG

11/13/18 10:17am

No he mentioned BYU in his opening paragraphs.

cwilke1

11/13/18 10:30am

yea, I think the issue is that rule applies to contracted bowls.

whiteninja

11/13/18 10:31am

That's the only reason Mandel forgot about byu?

Bluegoogles

maybe Stewart Mandel is wrong when he gives the rule that 7-5 teams must be

Good find

Indy Coug

11/13/18 11:00am

I do know that 6-6 teams must go before 5-7 teams, but I think that's it.

11/13/18 3:36pm

THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER

BYU is going to finish 7-5 so it wont be an issue

The Yewts have to vacate their win on 11/24/18 already? Nice.

No, but I am calling it BYU. Come back and see me in a couple of weeks and I

7-5 record beats a 6-6 record

Heinz57

BYU will be 7-5, so moot point.

You want to go bowling? ... Don't lose to NIU at home.

canndyman

11/13/18 12:11pm

I am more concerned about lost practice time

11/13/18 12:32pm

A 6-6 BYU team should turn down an invite.

11/13/18 12:32pm

NO way. Our young bucs need the extra practices alotted fr bowls. Wilson

OmahaThunderCoug

Yeah, but think of all the lost eligibility!

squidmark

Well, maybe that would be a good thing and be the catalyst for getting us into..
