Bowl Projections: Still Waiting on Enough Teams to Earn Eligibility

Filed under: BCS, Bowl Games, BCS Championship Game

Entering this weekend, 54 of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams have reached bowl eligibility. That sure sounds like a lot, right? Well, the only problem is there are 35 bowls that need 70 bowl-eligible teams.

The good news: there are still ample opportunities for 16 more teams to get that elusive sixth victory and qualify for a bowl game (uh, except for you, USC).

The bad news: there still may not be enough teams that get to six victories. If that happens, bowls will be rewarding teams with 5-7 records.

Imagine the men in the bowl blazers trying to decide which 5-7 team to select. "Well, they only lost by 28 points in their last game."

Now, imagine the difficulty in trying to project what teams will go to all these bowls. Well, anyway, I decided to have a go at it. So here are FanHouse's bowl projections and -- don't worry -- we'll update/change/shuffle them each week until the official announcements are made Dec. 5.
