Alright, so you wanna know about bowl eligible teams, huh? Let’s break it down, easy peasy.
Basically, for a team to get a spot in a bowl game, they gotta win at least six games. It’s like a club, and you need enough wins to get in the door. They also gotta have a winning percentage of at least .500, so they can’t lose too many games. Think of it like this: If they win 6 games and lose 6 games, they’re not gonna be invited to the party.
Now, there’s a catch – they can only count one win against a smaller team (like those from the FCS) towards their total. It’s like they gotta prove they can hang with the big dogs to get that bowl invite. So, if they beat up on a bunch of small teams, they still gotta show they can do the same against the bigger teams.
There are a lot of bowl games out there, and all those spots need to be filled. It’s like a big holiday party with a lot of empty chairs. They need 82 teams to fill all the spots, so they can get the party started!
Here’s a quick rundown of some of the teams who’ve already earned their spot:
| Conference | Teams |
|---|---|
| American Athletic | Army, Memphis |
| Mid-American Conference | Ohio, Miami (OH), Northern Illinois, Eastern Michigan, Bowling Green, Toledo |
| and the list goes on! |
So, those are the basic rules for getting into a bowl game. It’s like a game within the game. Teams gotta fight for those wins and earn their spot. It’s a lot of fun to watch these teams battle it out, and it’s pretty exciting to see who gets to go to the big dance.
Keep an eye out, because there are a lot of teams still fighting for their spot. It’s going to be a wild ride!
What are your thoughts? What teams are you rooting for to get a bowl invite?
