• Bowl Eligible Watch - oh, and NOTBCS & NOTCFP Rankings - 11/21

    From The NOTBCS Guy@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 21 16:16:49 2022
    There are 82 bowl openings ("I thought you said 80" - I did, but apparently somebody threw in a 41st bowl game), and 73 bowl eligible teams going into Thanksgiving weekend; also, the Ball State-Miami Ohio and Appalachian State-Georgia Southern winners
    will have 6 wins, so that's 75 teams.
    It looks like only 11 teams have any chance of getting in with a 5-7 record, unless a 5-7 team on the list declines a bowl bid:
    (Teams with asterisks already have 5 wins, and a win this weekend makes them bowl eligible automatically)
    1. * Rice
    2. Iowa State
    3. UNLV
    4. Virginia (assuming it beats Virginia Tech and gets the NCAA to count its canceled game as a win for bowl eligibility)
    5. * Michigan State
    6. * Auburn
    7. * Missouri
    8. * Miami
    9. Army (which has to win both of its remaining games)
    10. * Georgia Tech
    11. * Miami Ohio
