Could a 5-7 or WORSE team get a Bowl Bid this season?

Post by Valenth »

The Answer is YES...

Heres a list of the # of Bowl Eligible teams by Conference...

PAC12 - 10
SEC - 10
ACC - 9
B1G - 8
AAC - 8
BIG XII - 6
MAC - 7
MWC - 7
CUSA - 5
SUN BELT - 3
IND - 2

# of Bowl Eligible teams is 75...
Oddly enough there are 41 BOWL GAMES... Sooo we could see a couple under .500 in Bowl Games... The window is closing quickly however!

There will be 5 teams under 6-6 record in a Bowl Game

I don't think OU deserves a bowl and they have 7 wins

They got shunned last year.. they were 6-6

However Ohio beat Marshall AND Took Minnesota to the end this season.... So theres some credibility there..

FCS ER WHATEVER THEY CALL IT. STUFF LIKE COASTAL CAROLINA, CHARLESTON SOUTHERN DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS A BOWL.

We complain about it but I'm sure we would watch two 0-12 teams play. We love football

Oddly enough, this is true haha! But, you aren't bowl eligible unless you get to 6 wins.

I also thought you had to win a minimum of 6 games. But yes, we would watch two 0-12 teams IF they played in April. What else would we watch, baseball? :o :x :oops:

Nope, you get an every-other year waiver to count an FCS win.

That they did, was a good game to take in, but in the end the Cats came up short in regulation.

You are as bad as Athens78 and all your naysaying! The Cats just took Northern Illinois behind the woodshed tonight in DeKalb. 8-4 is a pretty darn good season. Beating Marshall and Northern.

Ohio Tonight did something no MAC team has done since I believe 2009... Thats give Northern Illinois a loss in November.

IMO Ohio just picked up their 2nd best win behind beating Marshall. They are a quality team.
