APR order

Right now, there are 6 spots open. Accounting for the fact that 2 of the remaining matchups include teams still 5-6, here's what it would be like for APR potential.

(This assumes the 2020 data is still accurate. I know no data was released in 2021 due to COVID-19.)

• Middle Tennessee (5-6) - 985
• Memphis (5-6) - 980
• Rutgers (5-7) - 979
• California (4-6) - 977 (two games left)
• Texas (5-7) - 974
• Illinois (4-7) - 970

---Current cutoff---

• USC (4-6) - 970 (two games left)
• Louisiana-Monroe (4-7) - 966
• Florida Atlantic (5-6) - 965

---Cannot qualify via APR below this line, but can still be eligible or conditionally eligible---

• Syracuse (5-6) - 965
• Old Dominion (5-6) - 961
• Troy (5-6) - 961
• West Virginia (5-6) - 960
• LSU (5-6) - 952
• Hawaii (5-7) - 949 (gets first spot if any open and are 6-7)
• Charlotte (5-6) - 945
• Tulsa (5-6) - 945

Venues section

I like the addition of the Venues section. However I think it should be moved lower in the article -- after the Team Selections section, I would say, or at least after the Schedule section. What do other editors think? — Mudwater ^(Talk) 00:25, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

It's been a couple of days and no one has said anything about this, so I have moved the Venues section to be after the Team Selections section. — Mudwater ^(Talk) 18:49, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Cure Bowl

Though not much has been reported, and some reliable sources still say Camping World Stadium, the Official Site suggests that the Cure Bowl is going back to Exploria Stadium for 2021. The ticket seating map links to a diagram of Exploria Stadium and the stadium information tab (though with some dated information) also mentions Exploria.

References column in bowl tables

I propose removing the References column from the two main tables -- the one for the CFP bowl games and the one for the non-CFP bowl games. Each game has its own Wikipedia article, with appropriate references, and readers who want more detailed information about each game will click through to those articles anyway. Adding another column to the tables makes them more cluttered. The previous years' "20xx–xx NCAA football bowl games" articles don't have References columns in their tables, so there's a precedent for leaving them out. What do other editors think? — Mudwater ^(Talk) 12:00, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Pinging Sqldf03, who added the column and many (if not all) of the references. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Sure. If the references make the reader's experience less satisfying, remove the references column. I would still add a reference that has all of the bowls somewhere in the section (doesn't have to be in the table). Sqldf03 (talk) 17:35, 13 December 2021 (UTC) Ping to: Mudwater

Good, thanks. I shall proceed accordingly. — Mudwater ^(Talk) 01:22, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Table formatting -- wrapping

In the two main tables -- for the CFP bowl games and the non-CFP bowl games -- I think it's better to let the names of the bowl games and the names of the teams wrap onto more than one line -- like this -- instead of using "nowrap" to force them to stay on one line -- like this. But, what do other editors think? If most prefer "nowrap" I would go along with that. (Some people might say that letting them wrap looks better on a computer monitor, while using "nowrap" looks better on a phone, where the screen is quite narrow.) — Mudwater ^(Talk) 12:33, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
