that no eligible teams with .500 records are passed over for postseason play in
favor of more well-known schools with fewer than six wins.The new rule, which
was implemented by the NCAAs Division I Council on Wednesday, will be put in
place for the upcoming season and says bowl-eligible teams with 6-6 records must
be selected for bowl games before any 5-7 teams are considered.The NCAAs
football oversight committee first made the recommendation for the new rule to
the council, following a season that saw only 77 teams eligible for the 80 bowl
slots. The three remaining slots were filled by 5-7 teams -- Nebraska, Minnesota
and San Jose State.Its impossible to project how many eligible bowl teams we
will have, said Bob Bowlsby, chair of the football oversight committee and
commissioner of the Big 12 Conference.We think we have a selection process in
the postseason that makes sense and is fair to the schools and the bowls.The
council placed a moratorium on new bowl games in April, assuring that no new
games will be played before the 2020 season.Despite the hold on any postseason
expansion, the NCAAs football oversight committee recommended the rule as a way
to clearly define the bowl-selection process in the event last years lack of
eligible teams proves to be an aberration.The council agreed, and it also
defined the process by which any 5-7 teams would be considered for postseason
play -- using the multiyear Academic Progress Rate in Football Bowl Subdivision
as the selection criteria. Teams with the highest multiyear APR will be
considered first, followed in descending order by others in the category.Should
there be a tie in multiyear APR, the team with the highest score in the most
recent single year will have the selection edge.Despite entering the postseason
with sub-.500 records, Nebraska, Minnesota and San Jose State each won their
bowl games last season.The Cornhuskers defeated UCLA in the Foster Farms Bowl,
while Minnesota beat Central Michigan in the Quick Lane Bowl and San Jose State
topped Georgia State in the Autonation Cure Bowl.
