For San Jose State, the bowl math seems simple enough: Win two of the final three games to become eligible for a postseason berth.
"We all know what's at stake,'' offensive tackle Wes Schweitzer said as the Spartans prepared for Saturday's trip to Nevada.But there is a different dynamic to the stakes this season -- a second calculation within the well-documented bowl math.It works in SJSU's favor, and it reads like this: 40 x 2 = 80.A surge in new bowls has increased the total to 40, excluding the national championship, which matches the semifinal winners.Mathematically, it's extremely unlikely that there will be 80 teams with winning records to fill all the available slots.
