I’ve got COVID and feel like hell, so I’m switching channels and see Minnesota, with a 5-7 record in “The Quick Lane Bowl”. I thought you had to have at least a 6-6 record to go to a bowl?
I’m not losing sleep over this but IMO, it just confirms that a lot of these bowls are meaningless.

And supposedly Minnesota had to pay their 3rd string QB $30,000 not to enter the portal so they could play

quote:
Just as they did that season, the Gophers qualified for a bowl with a 5-7 record because of a nationwide shortage of six-win teams. They had the best Academic Progress Rate score among the five-win teams and, by NCAA rule, got the open spot.
The only FBS teams with better scores than Minnesota either had six wins or more (Northwestern, Wisconsin, Clemson, Alabama, Mississippi and Ohio State) or fewer than five wins (Cincinnati).

One of the teams that Michigan beat this year.
