Currently there are 72 bowl eligible teams out of a total of 82 postseason berths available (35 bowl games plus 12 CFP berths). The following teams are currently 5-6 (or 5-5 in the case of Army) with their fate hanging in the balance of one last game.
The American: Temple (Final game: at North Texas) and Army (Final games: at UTSA, neutral site vs Navy)
ACC: Florida State (Final game: at Florida)
Big Ten: Penn State (Final game: at Rutgers), Rutgers (Final game: vs Penn State)
Big 12: Kansas State (Final Game: vs Colorado), Baylor (Final game: vs Houston), Kansas (Final Game: vs Utah), UCF (Final game: at BYU)
Conference USA: None (Delaware is not bowl eligible due to their transition from the FCS)
MAC: Buffalo (Final game: vs Ohio)
Mountain West: None
PAC-12: Washington State (Final game: vs Oregon State)
SEC: Kentucky (Final game: at Louisville), Auburn (Final game: vs Alabama), Mississippi State (vs Ole Miss)
Sun Belt: Georgia Southern (Final game: at Marshall), Marshall (final game: vs Georgia Southern), Appalachian State (final game: vs Arkansas State), Louisiana (Final game: vs ULM), Arkansas State (Final game: at App State)
Of the 19 teams on this list, six are playing each other: Penn State vs Rutgers, Georgia Southern vs Marshall, and App State vs Arkansas State. So we will have a minimum of 75 bowl eligible teams. Of the other 13, all could win giving us a max of 88 bowl eligible teams.
Who will win this weekend to become bowl eligible? If less than 82 teams are eligible, which non-bowl eligible teams will be invited? If more than 82 bowl eligible teams, who will be left out?
