In my dynasty, 4-8 LSU is taking on 5-7 Indiana in the BBVA Compass Bowl. Three other 5-7 teams (Ohio State, North Carolina, and Tennessee) are also in bowl games. What a weird season.

Pics or it never happened. I also have a hard time believing all of those teams can be so terrible in the same year.

My buddy made it to the Hawaii bowl at 5-7, but aren't they guaranteed a bowl there every year? Also, some 5-7 teams made another bowl, it was Tenn and some one else... which ever bowl is listed above the beef O brady one.

I believe it. I've seen 5-7 teams make it to bowl games in previous versions.

I saw about 4 5-7 teams make bowl games in my dynasty year 3, I have played around with conference membership some though.

I have yet to see a 4-8 team get in a bowl. Interesting thing I noticed, 5-7 teams got in over 6-6 teams with 2 or more wins over FCS teams (Sun Belt has 6 teams in my dynasty so the schools play about 3 or 4 FCS games a season)

It should only happen if there aren't enough bowl eligible teams. Once I saw 5-7 Arkansas go to a bowl when there were other eligible teams, but that is the ONLY case I've seen and I have simmed somewhere in the number of 20 seasons in dynasties for testing. I'm not buying 5-7 OSU and 4-8 LSU. These teams are still winning 8+ games a year several years in.

I've seen it once in 5 years of playing through my dynasty. Florida State was 4-8 and played in a bowl game (and got their tails kicked).

Did any of those teams win their conference? North Texas, IRL, won the Sun Belt and made a bowl at 5-7.
