This week ten more teams became bowl eligible, so there are now 74 total for the 80 bowl slots. And there are only two other teams at 5-6, so there could be 76 bowl eligible teams. Here's the bowl picture by conference (does not include the six at large bids):
AAC (7 bowls): 7 in – USF, Houston, Tulsa, Temps, Navy, Memphis, UCF
ACC/ND (12 bowls): 11 in – Clemson, L'ville, UNC, VaTech, Wake, FSU, Pitt, GaTech, MiamiF, NCSt, BC
Big 12 (7 bowls): 6 in – Baylor, WVU, Okla St, Okla, KState, TCU
Big 10 (8 bowls): 10 in – Mich, O$U, Neb, PSU, Minn, Wis, Iowa, MD, Ind, NWern
CUSA (6 bowls): 6 in – MTSU, WKU, LaTech, ODU, SMiss, UTSA
Indies (1 bowl): 1 in – BYU
MAC (5 bowls): 6 in – WMU, Toledo, OHIO, EMU, CMU, Fiami
MWC (7 bowls): 6 in – Boise, SDSU, Wyoming, AFA, NM, Colo St
Pac 12 (7 bowls): 6 in – Wash, Utah, Colo, Wash St, Stanford, USC
SEC (10 bowls): 11 in – TxAM, Bama, FL, Auburn, Tenn, Ark, Georgia, LSU, Kentucky, SoCar, Vandy
Sun Belt (4 bowls): 4 in – Troy, App St, Idaho, Ark St; 2 others – SBama (5-6), ULL (5-6)
This week, SBama is home to NMSU (3-8); ULL is at ULM (4-7)
In addition, since there aren't enough eligible teams to fill all the slots, Army and Hawaii (each with six wins, even tho needing seven for eligibility) get bowl bids, based on the NCAA's criteria (six-win teams get priority over five-win teams). This would bring the total to as many as 78.
At least two and as many as four 5-7 teams will get bowl bids. The deciding factor will be their APRs. Some schools with losing records might opt out of a bowl appearance (some have speculated that Texas might decline). Here's the top 11 among 5-7 or potential 5-7 teams, in order of APR:
NTex (984) Tex (971) Miss St (970) NIU (970) ULM (967) AZSt (960) Miss (958) ULL (950) Nevada (949) SBama (947) Akron (947)
North Texas and Texas (should they decide to accept a bid) would definitely get bids.
We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
