Week 12 Update
Week 12 has wrapped up leaving a very interesting situation. There are only 19 teams left that can possibly to become eligible. However, 17 of those teams are just one game from elimination. That proposes a dilema. For the scenario of all the bowl slots being filled, we would need at least 13 of the 17 teams in danger of elimination to win. If only 12 or less of those teams win, there will be no way there will be enough eligible teams to win, and you will see teams with losing records once again make it to the post-season.
New Eligible Teams:
Arkansas State Central Michigan Colorado State Kansas State Kentucky South Carolina
There are 18 more teams that are 1 win from Eligibility
New Eliminated Teams:
Ball State California Charlotte Cinncinati Duke Georgia Southern Louisiana Monroe Mississippi State Notre Dame Syracuse Texas Tech UCLA UNLV
There are 17 more teams that are 1 loss from Elimination
