This is sure to tick some folks off.

UCLA filed and was granted a waiver that would make them bowl eligible in the chance they finish the season with a losing record. They are currently 6-6 with the Pac-12 Championship against #9 Oregon to play. Hmm. I wonder if they will finish with a losing record.

Some teams are going to be left out because there are 35 bowls and currently 72 bowl eligible teams (73 with UCLA). UConn can join them if they beat Cincy.

Teams with 6 wins:

Arizona State
Ball State
Florida
Illinois
Iowa State – one more game to play
Marshall
Miami (FL)
Mississippi State
Nevada – one more game to play
Northwestern
Ohio State
Purdue
Texas A&M
Utah State – one more game to play
Vanderbilt
Wake Forest
Winner of Syracuse-Pitt finishes with 6 wins, loser 5.

UConn probably loses to Cincy. Therefore, we should finish with 73 bowl eligible teams and 3 bridesmaids.
I predict these 3 will be: Ball State, Marshall and Nevada. there is a possibility that a 7 win team is excluded from the fun & games. Likely candidates are either Western Kentucky or Western Michigan (both 7-5).
