At least Missouri has the integrity to not accept a bowl bid after their losing season.
With more bowl spots than bowl eligible teams, the NCAA announced Monday that the remaining bids will go to teams with 5-7 record in order of school's Academic Progress Rate (APR).
That puts Missouri, at 5-7, in a good position to receive a bowl bid if the Tigers want to extend the 2015 season. But moments after the NCAA confirmed that bowls would be filled based on APR, Missouri released a statement saying "thanks, but no thanks."
