Congratulations to the twenty-three Division I FBS teams that have
already met the minimum requirements for bowl eligibility by defeating
six FBS opponents and ensuring at least a .500 record (barring unlikely
division championship scenarios). They are:
Georgia Tech Cincinnati Pittsburgh
Iowa Penn State Ohio State
Texas Houston Temple
Central Michigan Texas Christian Utah
Brigham Young Oregon Southern Cal
Florida Alabama Louisiana State
Auburn Troy Boise State
Idaho Notre Dame
In addition, nine other teams have defeated five FBS opponents and one
FCS pansy. Under the current NCAA criteria, they are now bowl eligible
as well:
Boston College Miami-FL West Virginia
Wisconsin Oklahoma State Texas Tech
Ohio California South Carolina
...but should anyone truly be proud of such an accomplishment?
79 other FBS teams still have a chance to qualify for a bowl berth in
some fashion or another. Already eliminated (barring unlikely conference
championship scenarios) are:
Rice Miami-OH Akron
Ball State Eastern Michigan New Mexico
Washington State Vanderbilt Western Kentucky
A total of 68 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision will participate in
bowl games this season.
Good luck!
