Right now I project the only bowl eligble team that won't be bowling is Miami (FL), which is self-imposing a bowl ban ahead of formal sanctions from the NCAA. There are four potential flies in the ointment:
Hawaii - The Warriors need a win over BYU, which would could send Louisiana Tech or Utah State eastward-the WAC champion is formally tied to the Potato Bowl, but the WAC could send Louisiana Tech to New Orleans if the New Orleans Bowl would prefer them over a MAC team.
UCLA - UCLA is projected to lose the Pac 12 Championship Game to Oregon and finish at 6-7. UCLA would need a waiver from the NCAA to participate in a bowl game, but the NCAA may not give that to them. If UCLA doesn't get the waiver, it could leave as many as 3 bowl slots open.
Connecticut - UConn needs a win over Cincinnati to finish 6-6. Since Notre Dame can take up a Big East bowl, 1-2 of Connecticut, the winner of the Pittsburgh/Syracuse game, or even South Florida could be in the at-large pool.
South Floria - The Bulls need a win over #23 West Virginia. If USF pulls it off, the Big East champion would be unranked for the second year in the row.
