If they beat KSU. It would obviously be a bad one, but there will be some 5-7 teams invited. There are now 72 teams 6-6 or better, yet there are 82 bowl slots.

https://www.hookem.com/story/sports/football/2021/11/23/texas-longhorns-football-bowl-game-2021-still-possible-win-friday/8725496002/?utm_source=SND&utm_medium=Facebook&utm_campaign=bevobeat&fbclid=IwAR0Q129PT9IYfNONz3_AR_mSt1zjU8bw8cjZlA2wOOBbZMCeLAkX95lV3FI

Apparently, team APR is the tie breaker for bowl eligibility.

Quote:
Of the 10 spots still available, four will be grabbed by winners of 5-6 vs. 5-6 games. That will make 76 bowl-eligible teams, leaving six slots. But only three other 5-6 teams are favored this week, so if form holds, three bids will go to 5-7 teams based on APR.

Just four potential 5-7 teams are ahead of Texas in the APR pecking order, and two Middle Tennessee and Rutgers can get bowl-eligible with wins over fellow 5-6 teams. A third, Washington, needs to upset Washington State in the Apple Cup to reach 5-7. The fourth team, California, is 4-6 and an underdog to UCLA before closing Dec. 4 against USC, which also is 4-6.

Then it gets funny when you start thinking about where they might go.

Quote:
And where would Texas land? Well, 5-7 teams are shuffled to the back of the bus, so it could be any far-flung destination. The best-case scenario: TCU and WVU both lose, and Texas is allowed to fill a Big 12 tie-in at the Dec. 28 First Responder Bowl on SMU's campus in Dallas.

As long as they're not matched against Kansas, it's cool.

Really is a clown world we live in with a bunch of 5-7 teams 'facing off in bowls'.

I'd rather see two winless teams go at it so one of them gets a W.

If, and it's a big if, If Texas gets to 5-7, their best win would be U LaLa.

I don't think they beat KSU anyway... so it's a moot point.

UTSA doesn't want'em, they've done just fine by themselves.

A third, Washington, needs to upset Washington State in the Apple Cup to reach 5-7

There's still a "it could happen" scenario that could put Washington State in the Rose Bowl. I would love to see it happen, and to double down, I'd love to see them play the winner of the Big 10 west after they knock off the winner of tOSU/Michigan.

This. I'd actually like to see them win and get a bowl game, and then win the bowl game so we could hear them say "weeeeeee'rrrrreee baaaaack" again, just so we can point and laugh when 2022 rolls around and find out yet again they're STILL not back.

Losing at least 7 and claiming you're back would be hilarious

Do you know what's even better than 5-7 or 4-8? Going 5-7, being gifted some random red field bowl paying $3829 because there aren't enough bowl eligible teams, losing that and ending 5-8.

I'm all for this.

No one will say Texas is back even if they win a bowl game.

K-State will want this game and there seems to be a fair amount of discord and attrition at t.u.

Don't count out a K-State victory.

This. Why would we want them to get a bowl game? That's more practice time and more exposure for their program even if it's against a ****ty MAC team.

No, what I want is for them to sit on their ****ing couch all winter. I want the last taste of the 2021 season to be them getting drubbed at home by a mediocre Kansas State team in front of 4,000 fans.

God, a Washington State v. Minnesota Rose Bowl, with the animatronic corpse of Keith Jackson crowing that it was "The Granddaddy Of Them All" would be glorious.

It can still happen, Washington State beat Washington. I love to see the other guys beat the University of Whoever. Now if Oregon State can beat Oregon.
