Pac-12 Passes Rule Change Requiring 6 Wins to Become Bowl Eligible

The Pac-12 will no longer allow any 5-7 teams from its conference to enter a bowl game.

According to Ralph D. Russo of the Associated Press, the league's presidents passed a rule requiring teams to have six wins in order to be bowl eligible.

Under previous rules, five-win teams had the opportunity to fill any open slots during the bowl season if there weren't enough six-win teams available. The spots were given in order of Academic Progress Ratings.
