With just a few weeks remaining in the season, it’s time to start talking bowls.
Among the non-AQs, 15 members already have earned enough wins for bowl eligibility, though that doesn’t mean they’ll all get in. Some non-AQ conferences have a limited amount of bowls, which means hoping some of the automatic qualifying conferences don’t fill all of their guaranteed spots.
Here’s a look at my bowl projections as we head into Week 11 of the 2009 season. I’ll be doing this every Sunday for the rest of the season.
