I'd have to agree with Kris61...


Now, if you don't mind... I need to go take a shower after admitting that..
LOL.

I was not happy at all when UW got stuck with 13-0 Western Michigan in the Cotton Bowl a couple of years ago. It felt like a penalty, and a lose-lose.


However, UW is the only P5 school to not lose to a G5 in a NYD6 bowl game. So, there's that. 


I guess they "showed up", unlike the others... heh.

I understand that a program has the right to turn down a bowl invitation

Of course, and forfeit their share of the revenue. So yeah.

NYD6 bowl games started in 2014.
That f'ing Rose Bowl was a BCS game at the time.

Yeah, I'd be pretty surprised if it actually happened, that a school in any major conference would turn down a bowl bid.  The conference revenue payout structures just don't really allow for it.

I think this post really illustrates just how difficult getting into the .800 club is.  Wisconsin's five year run from 2013-2017 is REALLY good by any school's standards and yet even that falls just short and it is only five years.  To give this some context:
Playing 13 games a year (12 scheduled and a bowl) you need to win an average of 10.4 games per year.  In five years that works out to, for example, three 10-3 seasons and two 11-2 seasons, 52-11.  
Playing 14 games a year (12 scheduled and either a CG and a bowl or a CFP semi-final win) you need to win an average of 11.2 games per year.  In five years that works out to, for example, four 11-3 seasons and one 12-2 season, 56-14.  
Playing 15 games a year (12 scheduled, a CG, and a CFP semi-final win) you need to win an average of 12 games per year.

didn't Notre Dame turn down a bowl a few seasons ago?

I understand they are not in a conference, but I think that would be more incentive to grab the cash, since they don't share

They turned down the Copper Bowl like 20 years ago.  Not sure if they did it more recently than that.

times flies when you're having fun.  That could have been it, or possibly they bluffed about it and then took the game and the money

Google told me they also preemptively said they wouldn't accept a bowl bid the year they fired Weis.  So they were never offered a bid to technically refuse.

But it was 1996 when they turned down the Copper Bowl bid at 8-3
