I'm bored and baked, so here's a breakdown of teams bowl eligible and close to it.
1) there are 12 playoff spots
2) there are 35 bowl games for a total of 70 teams
3) grand total of 82 spots available
I'll update this list every week
11/24/2024 - 77 playoff and bowl bids accounted for. 5 spots remain with 16 teams with 5 wins. 9 five win teams have a higher APR than Kansas. We're now mathematically eliminated for selection as a five win team.
