Pruitt would accept bowl at 5-7

[Titans Fan]

He said he would accept an invitation at 5-7, but is the APR score good enough?

Where Tennessee ranks in becoming bowl eligible at 5-7

 

[rocktopper16]

Need the extra practice.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Probably won't get that chance.

 

[tomq_123]

15 extra practices is worth playing anywhere.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

If we defy the odds and actually make a bowl, I really, really hope its this one....just for the name.

 

[daugag02]

It's virtually impossible for UT to get a bowl bid at 5-7.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

It's gonna be a jimmy-leg off-season, boy.

 

[Jack Burton]

After we finish the season with 4 wins we’ll find out which bowl was hoping for our 5th win so they could take us. Vols.

 

[wmcovol]

Isn’t there a rule that allows teams that didn’t go to a bowl to practice until the first bowl game or something? I believe BB teams can practice thru the NCAA also.

 

[Chilmonty]

Would be stupid not to take a bowl offer for the extra practice alone!!

 

[Zues1]

No team should be offered or accept a bowl bid with less than 8 wins.
Just get rid of half the bowls and allow any team that wishes to have extra (15) practices to do so. Until December 31st

Jerry Palm of CBS Sports weighs in on the topic. He said 5-7 teams are not expected to go bowling this year.

[Jax_Vol]

HECK YEAH!!!

We going 5-7 and playing 5-7 Florida State in the Birmingham Bowl! 20 year rematch of the National Championship Game!

I be there on the front row..............woot woot!

Would probably still earn more money than many of the bigger bowls.

Or just don't watch any bowl games involving teams with less than 8 wins if it bothers you

 

[Special Ed]

As long as it's not the Brick-by-Brick Bowl, I'll allow it.

 

[Rifleman]

And I would accept a date with Scarlett Johannson . . . but, you know, ain't neither happening.

It would take quite a few upsets for there to be any need for 5-7 teams this year.

Why is APR used to determine bowl eligibility of a 5-7 team? We will never have as good an APR as a team like Northwestern, but our SOS is way harder then theirs.

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

That means we have to win one more. I’m not sure that happens.
But take the bowl if it does

 

[OnlyGodForgives]

Not particularly adept in the classroom or on the field. What a program. Sticking up for them, I would declare that as a player for this university I would want no part of another month of practicing and accumulating miles on the frame for no reason.

Sigh.

[Cdywolfe]

I'm thinking we should win a 5th game before we start to worry about it.

What does it hurt?
