Did not take CFP teams into account but it appears there will not be a team shortage.

P5
ACC - 10 eligible, likely 1 more, 2 possible more, 10 Bowls
B1G - 9 eligible, possibly 2 more, 9 Bowls
B12 - 6 eligible, possibly 1 more, 6 Bowls
SEC - 9 eligible, likely 3 more, 2 possible more 10 Bowls
PAC 12 - 9 eligible, likely 3 more, 2 possible more 7 Bowls

G5
AAC – 4 eligible, likely 2 more, 5 Bowls
CUSA - 4 eligible, likely 2 more, 6 Bowls
MAC - 5 eligible, likely 1 more possibly 2 more, 5 Bowls
MWC - 6 eligible, possibly 2 more, 6 Bowls
SB - 3 eligible, likely 1 more, 3 Bowls

So four of the P5 conferences will garner revenue and exposure from 10+ bowls while the B12 only gets 6. Yeah, they don't need to expand!

it's going to get interesting. There's 38 bowls total. 76 slots... right now using your numbers we have 67 eligible. 9 left to go.

I have 37 teams gone. So 104 of 128 teams destinies have been decided. 24 teams left. Of the 24 teams left I'm seeing 10 teams with 6 losses right now. (note Buffalo has 2 FCS wins and 6 losses, so they're gone).

I see 1 game right now with 2 6 loss teams- Illinois/Northwestern.

AAC and CUSA both have 5 bowls. CUSA does not have 6. AAC and CUSA share a backup with the independence bowl, so you could say 5.5 (well actually the AAC also has backups to the Liberty and Poinsettia).

Also, I believe that the MWC only has 6 tie ins, not 7.

Pretty much with everyone- if you have 6 wins(only 1 FCS win) you will be going bowling. doesn't really matter the # of tie-ins this year.

Also, the B12 only has 6 tie ins but a backup with the Armed Forces. Man, whoever posted this made a lot of errors.

Note stab at it, will gladly correct. CUSA IS 6 thanks to the AAC. Corrected MWC & B12

There is a significant possibility that there will be more than 76 bowl-eligible teams, which would mean that some bowl-eligible teams don't get a bowl game.

I count 62 teams already eligible, and 22 teams that are 5-4 or 5-5. If 15 or more of those 22 teams win at least 1 of their 2 or 3 remaining games, then some bowl-eligible teams will not get a bowl game.

That doesn't even count 4-6 teams that could possibly get to 6-6.

Army is not bowl eligible but since it is a back up that probably will not be filled by the B12 I moved it back to six, technically though 7 was correct.

CUSA only has 5 primary ties this year. Positive about this. They could get 6 though if selected for Indep.

New Mexico
Boca
Bahamas
Hawaii
Heart of Dallas

Also backup to Indy (with AAC)

Straight off CUSA website.

You may be thinking they have 6 due to adding Bahamas, but they gave up Miami Beach so AAC could get BYU in there.

it's actually 61(Ga Southern isn't)...

Looking at things closer 61 are Bowl eligible- meaning 15 still needed. 37 teams are out. So of the 128 teams, all but 30 are accounted for.

App St is not eligible either.

correct but they don't have 6 wins either yet(he had 62 which I believe includes Ga Southern)

I know, I was just pointing out they can't get eligible.

My bad, I thought they had New Orleans this year as well, I stand corrected. Should be an interesting two weeks. I am just glad my Wolfpack already got there 6th win. I was dreading the thought of having to win at UNC to get a bowl.

Odds are VT, SC, and FL will be in since they have winnable games next week against Syracuse, USA, and FCS.
