Thanks, I updated original post.
I believe Stanford also has a bye this week. That means a total of 18 teams could become eligible. If all of them were to do so, that would bring the total eligible to teams to 31, compared with 20 at the same point last season.
There are also 8 teams who could become ineligible this week, two of whom (BYU and ECU) play each other. So 7 could draw the short straw. If they all lose, that would bring the total of ineligible schools to 12, compared with only 3 last year.
So, combined, if all the teams that could know their bowl fate actually do, they would total 43, compared with only 23 after week 8 last year. With more schools at the extremes, I'm not sure what that means for filling all the bowl slots with 6 or more win teams this year.

Rutgers takes another step towards bowl eligibility this week with a win over Purdue. I might be at that game. After that wins over Maryland and Indiana get them to 5 and 7. All they need then is an upset over one of Michigan, Penn State, and Michigan State to get to 6&6. Since Michigan and Penn State are away I'll go with the upset over Michigan State at home in the final game of the season for a 6&6 season and a bowl win during the holidays to begin the turn around at Rutgers this year.
I see a Missouri-Kansas renewal in the Cotton Bowl. Call it payback for Jerry Jones screwing St Louis out of the Rams. They should have the required six wins (between them. lol)
Memphis, Marshall, & CSU all become Bowl Eligible. Updating the the primary post with Red and Green throughout the weekend.
Ohio is up 41-3 after putting up 28 points in the 3rd quarter...
I think it's safe to say the Bobcats will be bowl eligible here pretty soon...
Updated, if my math is right. I think it is 25 teams as of now.
