The Bears had a historically great run with head coach Art Briles, notching seven straight bowl appearances from 2010-16, including playing in the Bowl Championship Series.
After the tumultuous 2016 season, the Bears notched a capstone win with interim coach Jim Grobe, running their all-time bowl record to 12-11.
Under new head coach Matt Rhule, the Bears missed bowl eligibility for the first time since 2010 before notching a 6-6 record in Rhule's second year.
