    Utah and a Bowl game

    As crazy as it may sound Utah is still in the mix for a bowl game. A lot of things have to happen but it is still a possibility.

    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.
    So for this to happen Utah would have to win on Friday. Be in top 5 APR of the 5-7 teams (they are). Here is how the bowl situation sits right now.

    64 teams are bowl eligible currently. The remaining teams (on the left) could still fill out the final 6 spots. They need one win unless otherwise noted:

    Wake Forest / Vanderbilt
    Virginia Tech / Virginia
    West Virginia / @ Iowa St & Kansas
    Baylor / Tex Tech (Dallas) & Ok St
    Michigan State / @ Minnesota
    Purdue / Indiana
    Marshall / @ East Carolina
    SMU / Tulsa
    Rice / @ Utep
    Central Michigan / @ Umass
    Missouri / @ Tex A&M
    Ole Miss /Miss St
    Troy / @ Mid Tenn St
    Connecticut / @ Lville & Cincy (Must win both)
    Pittsburgh / Rutgers @ USF (Must win both)

    I predict Va Tech, Mich St, Purdue & West Va all win easy. The last two spots are the only where Utah has a chance and the odds are way against them. Interesting to think about it but in the end Utah has no one to blame but themselves.

    add another thing to the list of things wrong with NCAA football.

    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

        The only reason its an option is because Ohio St, Penn St and North Carolina have bowl bans.

            Nothing legitimizes a season more than being invited to a bowl. Look no further than BYU. BYU had a horrible season and will cap it off with a bowl. What a great accomplishment.

                If we beat CU, get invited to a bowl game and win it, then we can say "we won our last two!"

                Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                        Ok. I will cheer for the utes and against all those other teams you listed above that stand in the way of a coveted bowl invite. This should be exciting.

                        Go utes, beat the buffs!

                            Not me, I hope the Utes don't get to a bowl. The extra layoff of not getting to see the team play will only heighten the best home game experience in the P12 come next fall. Anticipation is a powerful thing!

                            I'm sure PortlandUte has my back.

                              I don't think you should get to have extra practices and attend a bowl if you had a losing record. JMO.
