Bowls and Buckets. Bowl Game, Would’ve Made NCAA Tournament
2019-2020 Hoops & Helmets
Losers in Both Sports | No Bowl, No Buckets
Bowls, No Buckets | Bowls, No Buckets, Part 2
Bowls & Buckets | Top Ten
These schools hold the distinction of getting both a bowl bid and would’ve enjoy an invite into the NCAA Tournament – with one big exception. If you play for a college football national title, you get here.
Yes, a good run in the hoops tourney makes a big difference, but football is bigger overall to the bottom line. Come up with a great year in football and a good year and hoops, and it’s all good.
