This is a special time in Mean Green land.  Regardless of how things go at UAB (I think we win), you are robbing yourself of some rare memories if you aren’t in the house for Homecoming and the rest of this season

Indeed it is...and indeed you are!  Be there Mean Green people.

I thought we were bowl eligible for the second year... since the context is in regards to wins and losses. 

Apples to apples, I guess - in 2001, we were 5-6, but declared eligible since we were the conference champ.  In 2016, we were declared eligible due to our academic record.

Why we gonna act like Mohammed doesn't have 4 picks? And what about that give me your lunch money pick he had yesterday!

That was ruled a fumble recovery.  Anyway, this is what ESPN shows for the INT leaders...

NT went to the Belt affiliated Bowl because they were conference champion. The conference changed the rules after that year to allow them to select the team and keep teams with non-winning records out.  

In 2016, they did not have enough six win teams to fill all the bowl slots.   NT was selected among many other 5 win teams based on the tie breaker, APR scores.

So Apples to Apples then.
