Both universities cannot have 7 losses since they still play each other so one could have 6 to the other 7

5-7 heck even 6-6 teams do not belong in a bowl.if you do not have a winning record you should not be bowl eligible
This ^^^. Although Nebraska accepted the bid last year against the Trojans of USC . The Huskers had the 5-7 record and went on to beat USC. That looks horrible if you are a proud program like that and you LOSE to the team that isn't even .500.

In other words only way a 5-7 team gets a bowl invite is if there are no other teams above them with better records in FBS.
You are correct. They even clarified that the bowls HAVE to go down the APR list. Considering that both LSU and Ole Miss are greater than 125th in APR in D1, I suspect there will not be enough bowls granted to 5-7 teams to get into a bowl. Vandy, on the other hand, has a much better shot.
