Even if the maroon and gold drop their final two games, there is a chance they could still go bowling.
While Arizona State is still one win away from becoming bowl eligible, there is a possibility that the team could still make a bowl game even if it finishes 5-7. With the number of postseason contests increasing to 40 this year, it is looking unlikely that 80 FBS teams will finish with a 6-6 record or better.
So the question is, what happens then?
The NCAA has implemented a contingency plan for this very scenario, with numerous steps that can be taken to insure all of the bowl spots are filled.
