Teamranking predicts 80.5 bowl eligible teams.

Ohio's a lock to go bowling at 7 wins. 4 down and 3 to go.

Through Week 9 there are 31 bowl eligible teams (still none from the MAC). Mizzou is ineligible at the moment, but they've appealed, so they're on the list with an asterisk. ECU, VaTech, Hawaii, Army and Liberty have to win seven games because they play 13 and/or play more than one 1/AA school.

Here is this FWIW at this point. Only about 4 of these had been updated after Saturday's games. Most are a week old.

Jerry Palm (CBS) 12/21 Camellia Bowl (Montgomery) vs. Troy
Kyle Bonagura (ESPN) 1/3 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (Boise) vs. Air Force
Mark Schlabach (ESPN) 1/6 Mobile Bowl (Mobile) vs. Georgia St.
Brant Parsons (Orlando Sentinel) 1/6 Mobile Bowl (Mobile) vs. Appalachian St.
Erick Smith (USAToday) 12/21 Boca Raton Bowl (Boca Raton) vs. Navy
Pete Fiutak (CFN) 12/21 Boca Raton Bowl (Boca Raton) vs. Tulane
Jason Kirk (SBNation) 1/6 Mobile Bowl (Mobile) vs. Louisiana
Michael Shapiro (SI) 12/20 Bahamas Bowl (Nassau) vs. Marshall
Bill Bender (TSN) 1/6 Mobile Bowl (Mobile) vs. Georgia St.
Steven Lassan (Athlon) 12/21 Boca Raton Bowl (Boca Raton) vs. Tulane
College Sports Madness 12/20 Bahamas Bowl (Nassau) vs. UAB
Nick Bromberg (Yahoo) 1/4 Armed Forces Bowl (Fort Worth) vs. Air Force
Stewart Mandel (Fox) Putting NY6 on Fox. The rest on The Athletic behind a paywall this year
Brett McMurphy (Watch Stadium) No Bowl

So many of these are so lazy and laughable.

Ohio will not play Marshall or Louisiana again .... or rematch UAB in Bahamas.

I’ll throw up if they get sent to Alabama to play Troy AGAIN

Boca sounds fun .... let’s do that

Getting into the MACCG would likely mean one of two bowls, both of which are in January. The Tater Bowl is January 3 and the Mobile Bowl (fka Dollar General, fka GoDaddy.com, fka GMAC) is on January 6.

Tater Bowl versus Air Force (former Ohio asst Troy Calhoun) would be fun as hell.
