Bowl math

Penn State needs to step up and it would put us in even if New Mexico State is able to schedule and won the last game.

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.

Nope, need two more teams to lose to clinch.

Nope. You must be counting teams like New Mexico St. and Army

Penn St back up 2 scores over MSU

Other bowl-eligibility games in progress:

Southern Miss (5-6) 10, LA Monroe (4-7) 10, early 4th

Louisiana (5-6) 27, Texas St (4-7) 13, early 3rd

Big score for Penn State

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.

MSU throws a terrible pick. PSU up 2 scores with the ball with 4 minutes left. Looking good

Run out the clock, Penn State

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.

No, UConn is included in the 77 teams.

Or throw another TD pass

The GA Southern game is a wash. App State is 6-5 but with 2 FCS wins. The winner of that game is going bowling.

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

Penn State up 34 to 16 with 3:56 left

 

[WrenchFan69]

No, UConn is included in the 77 teams.

Oh James Madison isn't bowl eligible, screwed everything up with my spreadsheet

 

[WrenchFan69]

We're bowling!!!!

 

[Tdaley]

Looks like we are in!!!!

 

[BugsyCT]

We're bowling!!!!

Are you sure? Enough 5-6 teams lose today?

 

[EricCantona]

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

77 bowl eligible teams and only 5 more that can get to 6. We're in
