Bowl schedule this year

[oldguystudent]

Somebody correct me if my count is wrong. I didn't crosscheck or anything.

For this year's schedule, I count (including playoff semi-finals, excluding playoff championship) 38 bowl games and 82 bowl eligible teams.

So if I'm counting correctly, there are 6 eligible teams that get left out. Who are they?

Go.

S. AL

MTSU

Fresno St.

On second thought, that doesn't give C-USA enough teams to meet it's tie-ins. MTSU in. Illinois out.

Ineligible due to "FCS to FBS" transition rule:

1. Georgia Southern

2. Appalachian State

3. Old Dominion

Sun Belt only has 3 bowl tie-ins and 4 eligible teams (6, but we removed 2 above):

4. South Alabama

MAC has 5 tie-ins but 6 eligible teams:

5. Ohio -or-

6. Central Michigan

CUSA has 6 tie-ins and 7 eligible teams (7, but we removed 1 above):

7. MUTS

There are still two teams (Temple and Oklahoma State) that could potentially become bowl eligible this weekend. My guess is that at least one does so I added a bonus 7th team

Thanks for that part. I failed to consider that.
