Since there are too many bowl games, NCAA needed to add more ways for teams to become bowl eligible since getting a winning record is too hard. So the NCAA has added a
tiebreaker system for any bowl spots where a conference does not have a team with a winning record
1st, 6-6 teams with any 1 FCS win (previously FCS wins only counted against teams that fully fund scholarships)
2nd, 6-6 teams with 2 FCS wins
3rd, 6-7 with the 7th loss coming in a conference championship game (see UCLA last year)
4th, 6-7 record with a 13 game regular season
5th, FCS team making transition to FBS with a 6-6 record (US)
6th, 5-7 team with a APR in the top 5
So, we need to root against teams getting 6 wins in 2013 and 2014, and we may actually get into a bowl game before becoming a full Conference USA member.
