ACC: 11
Big 12: 9
Big 10: 8
PAC 12: 7 (*Cal to go)
SEC: 9 (*Florida and South Carolina to go)
SBC: 11
American: 5 (*Navy and South Florida to go)
Mountain West: 7 (*Colorado State to go)
CUSA: 3
MAC: 6
Indy: 1

That's 77....so it's gonna be close, but JMU still has a shot.

6 teams for 5 spots. We just need 2 of the following to lose, and the Sun Belt will send 12 teams including JMU!

Cal
Florida
South Carolina
South Florida
Navy (will not play this weekend)
Colorado State

Navy is out. According to multiple of the National beat writers the rules since bowls are announced prior to the Army game, that game will not count towards bowl eligibility

SBC is guaranteed 11 spots. Now we wait on JMU

Sorry, I flip flipped them with Army. Trying to put kids to bed and we have four girls under 12. It's always a war.

This feels like the biggest and best evidence that the SBC expansion was spot on, commitment is there, and investments are paying off - 12/14 is incredible! (* with that one more loss to a 5-6 team)

If Florida State and Clemson take care of business tonight, JMU is going bowling for sure.

By the way, this does mean we all have to root for Charlotte since Florida State is playing with a backup QB

That sounds excruciating to think about.

So here we are with 77 slots filled of 82 eligible. Only five teams remain. If at least one or two of these falter, JMU is eligible.

Cal
Florida
South Carolina
South Florida
Colorado State

Florida is also playing with a backup QB.

I think I'll root for Hawaii later tonight instead.

Someone...do this...be our bowl-baby-daddy

Odds on who seals it first ?

The SBC is such a meat grinder.

Florida State scores a TD thanks to a bunch of Florida penalties in bad spots. They go up 24-15 with 2 minutes left. If they win, ONE of Jacksonville State/JMU is guaranteed a bowl.

Florida State wins. Either JMU is going bowling or the state of Florida is going to have another bowl eligible team.

One of the Ineligbowls will be playing in a Bowl.

Whether we get a 2nd or not comes down to whether Clemson holds on to a 16-7 lead against South Carolina with 6 minutes left. If they don't, everyone gets to hold their breath and watch UCLA play Cal in the late game tonight.

Looking good for JMU to get a bowl now.

South Carolina turns it over on downs. Clemson has it with 1:40 left.

We are going to have 12 Sun Belt Teams in a bowl game. That's absolutely unbelievable!.

Everyone in the SBC East is bowl eligible.

Incredible to get 12 of 14

Clemson wins 16-7. Everyone but Southern Miss and ULM is going bowling...

Now let's go 12-0.
