6-6 Iowa receives bowl bid

Posted November 22nd, 2006 by mrasor

Football

Iowa, at 6-6, accepted an invitation to play in the Alamo Bowl.

I know 6-6 makes a team bowl-eligible, but I also know the rule is all the teams with winning records must be invited first.

I'm starting to get confused on this. I'll do some more searching in the NCAA Rule Book and get back to you this afternoon.

If it's true that a 6-6 team can go before a 7-5 team, I think it's very likely you would see the International Bowl choose Akron over Western Michigan. Of course, the Zips would have to beat the Broncos on Friday.

    I think it may be possible that the International Bowl picks Akron over WMU (if Akron wins Friday) due to the fact that the Zips sold out their allotment of tickets to the Bowl last year and the guy running the International Bowl also runs the Motor City Bowl….hopefully he will have a good memory back to last December….Peter Stec
