To make the case that a 5 win t.u. team deserves a bowl bid...

The seemingly endless proliferation of bowl games means that there may not be enough bowl-eligible teams this season, opening the door for a five-win Texas Longhorns team to have a postseason, according to ESPN.

Where are they gonna get that fifth win from? If they cover the spread against tech does it count as a win?

They are almost bowl eligible. That's pretty much the same, right?

Gotta count all those moral victories as .334 wins. They add up.

Last year Strong showed how salty his 6-6 could be in a bowl game. Just imagine how a 5-7 team would do.

The sip spin machine is setting the table to present an argument for a t.u. bowl bid after their next two public shamings are over.

Somehow I think 5-8 would be even more hilarious than 4-8.

I think he has a point.

Especially when they lose that bowl game by about 35 to a 6-6 MAC team

Worth noting for Texas is that the Horns don't have a great APR in football at 958 last year, which ranks behind at least 13 teams that could reach five wins, so reaching that threshold will hardly guarantee a bowl bid.

For a better sense of what's going on, check out all of Brett McMurphy's article, but the gist is that the bowls could end up making agreements on the side with the NCAA set to meet with the conferences to decide how this all gets sorted out.

Depending on how things do shake out, winning one of the last two games may not be enough to earn the Horns a bowl bid, but it could be, and that's a major development for a program that desperately needs the extra 15 practices.
Death from a thousand cuts.

Another hallmark of the FUPM MB era no doubt.

Oh no! Everyone please contact the SEC and let them know that we don't want to play in that bowl!

I love that the entire premise of this stupid speculation is that the horns are absolutely going to beat one of Tech or Baylor, both of which are bowl teams and can score 50 in any game they play.

I've got a novel idea, one that isn't worth a hill of beans in this money-driven environment.......

how about not having a hundred bowl games and maybe making sure the ones that pass muster go to BOWL WORTHY TEAMS???

How 70's of me.........

Well absolutely no way in hell they're getting thru Baylol......but you've seen tard's defense, right? They might even be capable of making My Man/What's His Name look effective.

And that's coming from an Aggie.

Sips lobbying a 3 part NCAA rule change....

1a: 3 moral victories = 1 actual victory.

1b: Baylor isn't allowed to have briles as a coach anymore.

1c: tcu is too much of an upgrade, they have to go back to mountain west.

Why would Strong even want a bowl game when he knows most of his staff will be gone when the clock hits 0:00 after the Baylor game??

Sips watching the scoreboards and praying that they can sneak into a bowl game ahead of such juggernauts as UConn, Tulsa, Middle Tennessee, and Buffalo!
