This is my
seventh year of posting bowl projections.
There are 39 bowl games, plus the national championship game. 78 teams are needed to fill all bowl slots,
and the total number of FBS teams is 130.
There were not enough bowl-eligible teams last year, requiring
invitations to teams with losing records.
There is one less bowl game this year, so it will be easier to fill
all bowls with only teams with records of .500 or better. Projecting the matchups is difficult,
because most of the conferences admittedly base most, and in some cases all,
of their selections on factors other than the standings. It is about creating interesting match-ups
to sell tickets and generate television viewership. Keep in mind when
reviewing this page that when a conference does not fill all of its bowl
slots, the open bowls invite teams from other conferences. A conference is more likely to not fill all
of its slots when it has multiple teams play in the New Year's Six bowl
games. |
