This is sad to think about

But it might be time to start the APR watch. I want this team to get to a bowl. All the youth and first time starters need the bowl practice. This is strictly because I want the players to get the extra practice.

We are tied for 47th in APR. Teams in front of us in APR that I've put on the bubble who might be vying for open bowls due to lack of 6 win teams are listed below starting with highest APR:

Vandy
Stanford
Illinois
MTSU
Arkansas
Ohio
Toledo
Georgia Tech
Cal
Ole Miss
Nebraska
Army
MSU

Any team between 2 and 4 wins before the start of play today I put in this list. Some may not be realistic based on schedule but I didn't really look at that.

Again, I hate thinking about this, but we need the bowl practices for this team going forward. Not tonsave Moorhead's job. But for the players.

I'd rather get a bowl than not get one, but how likely is it that any 5-7 teams get a bowl this year? For each of the last 2 years there were a few 6-win teams without bowls because there were more teams than slots.
