    Now that there are some teams with 6 wins, here is the Week 6 Way Too Early Bowl Eligible Watch:
    There are 82 bowl openings (ESPN's list still doesn't include the Holiday Bowl for some reason)
    Five teams are bowl eligible:
    Georgia
    Louisville
    Michigan
    Oklahoma
    USC

    23 teams become bowl eligible with one more win:
    Air Force
    Alabama
    Florida State
    Fresno State
    Iowa
    Kansas
    Kentucky
    Liberty
    Maryland
    Miami Ohio
    Mississippi
    Missouri
    North Carolina
    Notre Dame
    Ohio
    Ohio State
    Oregon
    Oregon State
    Penn State
    Texas
    Toledo
    Washington
    Wyoming

    In addition, James Madison and Jacksonville State both have 5 wins; if they get 6, they can become bowl eligible if there are not 82 other 6-win teams (this includes a 6-7 Hawaii or New Mexico State, but not a 6-6 Army), or if they can talk the NCAA into
    giving them a bowl waiver (although JMU has already tried, and was turned down).
