Per Randy Johnson:
ince 2015, however, we’ve dealt with some new math. Because there are 40 bowl games, there aren’t always enough six-win teams to fill all 80 spots. Enter the Academic Progress Rate (APR), a formula used by the NCAA to gauge how programs are progressing toward graduating players. Teams with 5-7 records that have the highest APR will get to go to a bowl if there are openings.
Sound familiar? It should, because the Gophers traveled this path to the Quick Lane Bowl two years ago. Minnesota was one of three 5-7 teams to play in a bowl in 2015.
And it could happen again.
