Not enough eligible teams?

[MarkDallas]

Apparently, no one has decided what happens if there are not enough 6-win teams to fill all the bowl spots.

I see why they wrote the article. Went through that list and can't find 9 teams in that list with 5 wins who I am confident will win this week

Give the spots to worthy 1-AA teams.

I bet they get to 80. That list leaves out a few, like Kansas State who is 4-6 now but still plays Kansas and West Virginia.

i like this idea, but don't forget they have a true playoff that they'll be going through.

I guess you could find teams that were eliminated and let them in.

They need to just tell a few of the lower bowls that if they can't find 2 6-win teams, sorry, you can't play this year.

Things have changed a lot. I rember the days with Sherrill of being bowl eligible and getting left out

from Wikipedia. On August 2, 2012, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved a significant change to the process to determine bowl eligible teams, going so far as to potentially allow 5-7 teams to go to a bowl, in case there were not enough regular bowl-eligible teams to fill every game. If a bowl has one or more conferences/teams unable to meet their contractual commitments and there are no available bowl-eligible teams, the open spots can be filled – by the particular bowl's sponsoring agencies

Once every school with a .500 record or better is assigned a bowl they'll start going after 5-7 schools from the power conferences to fill the slots.
