Not trying to be a smartass or anything, but I thought the "Bowl Eligible" rule was pretty much dropped this season.
You may be right. However, there have been some announcements about bowl eligibility, such as the recent announcement that Army (6-1) will play in the Independence Bowl.
I just found this online, which suggests that 37 bowl games are still scheduled, which would be enough bowls for ~ 70+ teams:
