Week 13 College Football Bowl Eligibility Analysis
Posted by deaconcat08 on November 28, 2009
There are only two squads left on the bubble, as a number of teams either played themselves into a bowl game or out of a bowl game this weekend. Please note that these odds only represent the chances that a particular team will get enough wins to be eligible to receive a bowl bid. They do not represent the odds a team has in actually receiving a bid. This discrepancy likely won’t affect the bowl chances of most major conference teams, but sometimes a 6-6 record won’t be enough to a get bid from a non-BCS conference. It all depends on how many other teams are bowl eligible from a conference and how many total bids are available to that conference. The exception to this is for the Sun Belt conference teams, which I went ahead and assumed they need 7 wins to make it to a bowl.
Bubble watch teams from last week who have now clinched bowl eligbility: Wyoming, UConn
Bubble watch teams from last week who are now out of bowl contention: Kansas (worst college football collapse ever!), Toledo, UAB, Western Michigan, Kent State
