The NCAA's Board of Directors on Thursday approved a new selection process for bowl games that includes a possibility for teams that finish 5-7 to be selected to bowls.
Under the new measure, if there are not enough bowl-eligible teams, or if a bowl cannot be filled by its conference affiliations, the open spots would be filled through a six-tier tiebreaking process.

The 5-7 teams, if they have a top-five score on the Academic Progress Rate, can enter at the bottom of the process.

Ordinarily, teams need to finish with a minimum .500 winning percentage with at least six wins -- five against other Football Bowl Subdivision teams -- to be bowl eligible. A sixth win against a Football Championship Subdivision team only counts if the FCS school meets scholarship requirements.

Now, first consideration will go to 6-6 teams with a win against any FCS teams, regardless of scholarships, then 6-6 teams with two wins against FCS schools.
A team that finishes 6-7 and loses in a conference championship would be next, followed by 6-7 teams that normally play a 13-team schedule, such as Hawaii and its home opponents.
Then bowls could then invite FCS teams making the move to FBS, if they have at least a 6-6 record.

Finally, a team with a top-five APR that finishes 5-7 could be selected.

Bowl tiebreakers include FCS wins, 5-7 teams

I don’t want to watch this team embarrass themselves anymore this season.

Just be glad our staff isn't composed of samurai, we would already have had to deal with the fallout of the mass seppuku. Seriously though, I hold out hope for next year. Good crop coming in I think.

Good gracious! Are you a glutton for punishment? I don't think I could stand to watch another abysmal performance of what we have masquerading as a football team.

Part of the problem, if they play you support don’t be fair weather. Not saying it’s earned but if they are playing it’s for the fans.

Sweet. Another "fair weather fan" accusation.

If we go to a bowl we don't deserve, I absolutely will not watch it. That isn't being a fair weather fan. With the piss poor effort tonight by both our players and coaching staff, it's safe to surmise they were ready for the season to be over anyway. Likewise, as a fan, I feel just the same.

They need to focus on the weight room for the next four months. An extra six weeks eating and pumping iron is more beneficial at this point.

Serious question: Were the players not allowed to focus on the weight room and eat a lot of stuff since last winter?
