10 Teams are bowl eligible. But after a few upsets down the stretch occurring elsewhere, the likelihood of all 10 getting in are slim as there will be zero 5-7 teams bowling this year. What that means is that there will be a few 6-6 teams staying home come bowl season.
FAU, North Texas, UAB, Southern Miss, FIU, and Marshall are safe. Each team finished the 2017 season with a record of 7-5 or better. Teams who have seven wins are going to get in before those that finished 6-6.
WKU, Middle Tennessee, and Louisiana Tech all finished 6-6, with UTSA finishing with a 6-5 record due to the Houston game being postponed.
