Penn State up 12 now with four minutes left... if they hold on, based on Brett McMurphy's post, that means it's down to five teams alive to get bowl-eligible with five open spots, so UConn is assured of a spot! Finish them off, Nittany Lions!

If all 5 of those teams won, UConn could be left out. Would still need one of Southern Miss, Georgia southern, Lousiana Lafayette, Vandy, Miami, or Buffalo to lose.

From what I’m seeing, looks like NMSU will be scheduling an FCS opponent per their local news. Which would mean UConn would come in line before them.

I have seen that also, but have to factor in that they would be smart enough to schedule someone that would count in the math and have enough teams lose to say clinch for sure.
 
Both my kids go to Rice so I had to silently cheer for the Rice loss. UConn dodged some bowl eligibility bullets today with Rice, UTEP, FAU and other coming close. Seems like it has worked out and I am looking forward to seeing where the Huskies play

Pretty sure one more 5 win team has to lose and then we clinch. Think people are jumping the gun lol but hope I’m wrong

Although the App st/GSO game has me confused so maybe we have clinched since only 1 will be eligible. App st is being counted as eligible but probably isn’t yet so we may be good

This math doesn’t make sense pretty sure it’s 7 teams still alive

The teams still alive for full bowl eligibility (6 wins, only 1 of which was against an FCS opponent):
Buffalo
Southern Miss
App State OR Georgia Southern
Vanderbilt
Miami

Teams who could get 6 wins but 2 of them would be against FCS opponents (only 1 FCS win counts towards bowl eligiblity):
Army
New Mexico State

Isn’t app State playing for bowl eligibility too? They had a game cancelled I think
 
MSU is 3rd on the APR list behind Rice and Auburn. Hope they make it so my son can go to a bowl game. He missed out at Northwestern last year also. Sucks to be on two teams that were ranked at the beginning of the season and not go bowling.
