Every year the Bowl situation is confusing and isn’t sorted out until a mad scramble over the last few days. But this year, the confusion is even more intense. There are currently 40 Bowl games scheduled, which means that 80 teams have to be eligible. At this moment, only 71 teams have the 6 wins necessary to be eligible. There are currently 13 teams (of which Kentucky is one) that have 5 wins and thus the chance to get bowl eligible next week (you can read more about it here). If one looks at the schedule, it becomes clear that is unlikely 9 of those 13 will win, meaning that at least a few 5 win teams are going to be headed to a Bowl game.
