You're right as that is not always the second best record.

Not necessarily. They typically take the best available Pac 12 team, which isn't always the loser of the P12 title game. Wazzu went ahead of Utah two years ago
Just like USC went to the rose bowl ahead of CU in 2016 when UW went to CFP.
He’s not better than what they have
Most of the bowl slots other than the ones determined by a conference champion are based on the bowl having a place in the order of picking from the remaining teams in a conference. Top bowl gets conference champ, next bowl (usually related to payout) gets their pick of all remaining teams, then the next bowl gets their pick and on until they either run out of bowls or eligible teams.
Because of this sometimes a team with a better conference record will get picked over in favor of a team that is likely to sell a lot more tickets and get better TV ratings. This can be based on the size of a teams fan base and also if a team hasn't been for a while and there is a lot of excitement.
When the fuskers finally manage to win enough games to qualify for a bowl they will likely get picked ahead of another B1G team or two because they will have tens of thousands of fans willing to pay any amount of money for an excuse to get out of the hellhole of a Nebraska winter for a few days.

Yes. Nebraska had such a great season they get to end it at 2pm Friday at Rutgers.
And if they beat might Rutgers they will spend the entire off-season spouting off about how they have turned it around and are on the way back to the top.
And point out how they're one of the top 3 in CFB in number of close losses over the past 2 years

Please, please, please, Baby Jesus, make Vedral healthy enough to play and have him lead a Rutgers team that torches the Cobgobblers.
As crazy as it sounds, it would be nice to have him here?
Not crazy, he's a really good college QB*.
*If he can still move after what happened to his leg.

Ah man! Why could kNU and M(el)S(ucks)U play?!
I was referring to the name of Rutgers' stadium...LOL.
I could easily see a Schiano coached Rutgers pushing the Nubs even further down on the bottom rung.

just realized the nubgobblers play tonight. Go rutgers!
On track for a 12-0 Rutgers victory. Would be a pretty good way to end the knub season

Serious question: Is Fusker the worst in the Big 10?
I don't get the B1G network, watching the P12 game.
Wonder what the odds are of McCaffery being in nub land next season. He might as well leave like everyone else does.
