I attached a link.  It is pretty cumbersome because it lists both FCS and FBS football programs, but I went through it at one point and we are pretty much in the middle of the pack of all FBS teams.   The rules are pretty simple.  If there are any bowl slots left open for 5-7 teams, those slots are filled by those 5-7 FBS teams with the best APR scores.  Last year, for example, there were 3 open slots.  The teams with the three best scores got to fill them, and I believe the school with the highest APR got to choose which of the 3 bowls they wanted, then the team with the second highest got to choose from the two remaining slots, then the 3rd highest had no choice and went to the bowl that was left.  FYI, that third team last year would have been us if we had gotten to 5-7, we would have had the 3rd highest APR of all 5-7 teams.   The problem this year is with our score dropping 5 points, we aren't nearly as high on the overall FBS list as we were last year, which means it is that much more unlikely that we would have one of the best 5-7 team APR scores.  Plus, there is one less bowl this year.   We really need to finish with 6 wins, and I believe we will
