I count that 78 teams qualify. I expect that at 6-6 we would be one of the first eligible teams left at home. https://www.teamrankings.com/ncf/projections/standings / Back to Top TWT General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Alexandria, VA Post Count: 5,102 Status: Offline     RE: Bowl Eligibilty    Posted: 10/6/2019 12:46:35 PM  With the way the season has gone thus far is Ohio going to be bowl eligible is more of the question than a MACC. Ohio IMO has to win against NIU an Kent to push the team over .500 to feel in the east driver seat with any confidence. With Kent its unclear yet how good they will be once the get into MAC play but putting them and Buffalo down a game would put Ohio in control. About not making a bowl game at 6-6, Solich hasn't made a bowl before at 6-6 so probably not.

We live in a football world where there are so many bowls that 5-7 will get you there. That said, I think a 7-5 OU team is a lock but can they win 5 of their next 7!? After the 1-4 start, that may be a tall order.

The MAC has five bowl slots this year but only four teams are .500 or better (Toledo, Central, Western and Eastern). An upset here or there could put the MAC in a bind. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Team Rankings projects the following percentages for bowl eligibility: Toledo: 99.8% WMU: 95.8% Ohio: 85.5% Miami: 67.9% CMU: 67.6% EMU: 67.4% Buffalo: 67.3% Ball St: 48.8% Kent: 31.5% NIU: 15.4% BG: .1% Akron: 0% Add those up, and you get about 6.5 expected bowl eligible teams. I don't think filling 5 slots will be a problem, though some of those teams may well be 6-6. While the OOC records were not good, it would appear that most of the ten other teams will go 2-0 against BG and Akron, which will make up for it. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top BobcatPride General User Member Since: 3/14/2005 Post Count: 137 Status: Offline     RE: Bowl Eligibilty    Posted: 10/8/2019 11:05:53 AM  L.C. wrote: Pataskala wrote: The MAC might actually have trouble filling all its bowl slots.

That Fiami-OHIO game could go a long way in deciding the bowl-fate of the two teams.
