The entire 2015-16 college football bowl schedule has been set.
As expected, the Kentucky Wildcats did not make the field after finishing the 2015 season at 5-7. Though some 5-7 teams did make bowls, UK did not because their APR was not as high as the teams that did make bowls. That's what the NCAA used to decide with 5-7 teams would make it, and UK's was far below what teams like Nebraska had.
