Nebraska will be first in line among teams nationally with five wins to receive a bowl invitation, the NCAA announced Monday.
The NCAA Division I Council approved a one-time process that allows the Football Oversight Committee to use Academic Progress Rate scores from the 2013-14 academic year to fill the remaining spots needed for 40 bowl games.
