As of right now, we are looking at anywhere from 76-80 possible teams eligible. Of those possible 80, Ga SOuthern is only eligible if there are not enough teams to fill the bowls, so they don't count. The MAC, CUSA and SBC have more eligible than they do have commitments - possibly 2 from each conference. Because of our TV market and the AAC we have a better chance to go bowling than those possible 6 schools.

In the ACC, VA-VT is a play in game - someone goes bowling. Root for Miami over Pitt(should).
B12 - Need OU to beat Ok St(likely)
B1G - Need OSU to beat Michigan(likely), Illinois-NW is a play in game to eligibility
CUSA - Root for FAU over ODU(?), Southern Miss over UAB(unlikely)
Ind - Navy will be eligible unless a complete fallout in last 2 games
MAC - Need Miami over Ohio(unlikely), Kent St over Akron(unlikely)
MWC - Hawaii over Fresno(??)
P12 - BYU over Cal(likely), Oregon over Or St(likely)
SEC - Vandy over Tenn(ehh), Ville over UK(likely)

If this plays out like I indicate(even if Tenn wins) that leaves about 81 teams for 76 slots. SBC, MAC and CUSA will have 2 extra teams each. Independence Bowl has pick of AAC or CUSA team if they have an opening. Very good chance Memphis gets that so we are six IF we win one more - likely Military.

We got almost ZERO help this weekend! Golden, Nevada and a few others came up empty for us. We win and I feel we have a 90% chance of going bowling!
