Cactus Bowl vs some scrub Pac-12 team

[kso_FAN]

If we play in the motel 6 cactus bowl I will buy a shirt of that particular bowl game.

yes

Having that shirt and this one would be fantastic.

[420seriouscat69]

I will make sure to stay at a Motel 6 when i'm there.

[chum1]

I mean, yeah. I would definitely get a Motel 6 Bowl shirt and I've never had any bowl game shirt. I don't even wear K-State shirts. I'd also consider paying for a Motel 6 Bowl shirt, but honestly I'd know deep down that I wouldn't have to pay because my mom would love to get me one for x-mas.

[MakeItRain]

I will make sure to stay at a Motel 6 when i'm there.

Ewwwwww. 

I once was forced to stay in a Motel 6 when I was driving across the country and I had to stay in Indianapolis on the weekend of the Indy 500 but that Motel 6 was dece because it was an old Holiday Inn. Other than that one the other half dozen or so times I stayed in a Motel 6 it was awful.

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, they really are bad. I blame them for most of my back problems, for having to stay there a lot for work, back in the day.

[star seed 7]

I think I stayed in one in Vegas half a block from the strip. It was fine, but I was like 22 and dngaf so maybe it was gross

[hemmy]

won't be bowl eligible

[420seriouscat69]

ESPN has us there too. Hemmy, it's very possible that some of these bowls are forced to take 5-7 teams this year. I know, sounds cheap and dirty, but whatever. Even if we're "not bowl eligible", we still might be.

[chum1]

I assure you that the Motel 6 Bowl is not above being cheap and dirty.

[Bqqkie Pimp]

After we beat ku on saturday and have the results of Cal vs ASU, somebody needs to photoshop us a bowl shirt!!

That should get the lads pumped up for the coal aggy game.

[HerrSonntag]

Is anyone stat tracking how many teams can still get to 5-7 with  higher APR than us?

[420seriouscat69]

Interesting. rough ridin' Texas! What a weird ass season for them.

[TownieCat]

This was before last week's games so the records need updated, but here is the most recent APR scores of teams with <6 wins:

985 -- Utah State (5-5), Nebraska (5-6)

983 -- Vanderbilt (4-6)

980 -- Boston College (3-7), Rutgers (3-7)

978 -- Georgia Tech (3-7)

977 -- Virginia Tech (5-5), Indiana (4-6), Washington (4-6)

976 -- Missouri (5-5), Kansas State (3-6)

[420seriouscat69]

Well, Nebraska is obviously getting in at 5-7.

[HerrSonntag]

UPDATE!

APR	School	OVERALL
985	University of Nebraska, Lincoln	05-07
983	Vanderbilt University	04-08 out
980	Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick	04-07 out
977	Indiana University, Bloomington	06-06 in
977	Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University	05-07
977	University of Washington	06-06 in
976	Kansas State University	05-06
976	University of Missouri, Columbia	05-07

So, by my count there are 60 teams with at least 6 wins and 3 more teams (us included) with 5 wins and 1 game left

So if we lose and those other 2 teams win (Georgia St. and So. Alabama, so if they lose they have lower APR than us, so only winning is important in the calculations) there will be 62 teams bowl eligible. 

counting the former BCS/playoff games (not the natty) there are 5 bowls at the top and 34 regular bowl games this year = 39 bowl games = 78 slots.

So. in the worst case scenario we are in slot #65.

In a world where 78 teams go bowling, allow me to be the first, ladies and gents, to announce your 2015 bowl eligible wildcats!   Yay good grades!!!

Statistically speaking, coaches that don't beat K-State get fired.  We could Paul Rhoads Dana Holgorsen

[everyone shut up]

horsewomen could definitely get rhoads'd
