Honk if your Big 10 or SEC school did NOT get a football bowl bid!

[Judge Jude]

Big Ten, SEC bowl-a-palooza - nearly everyone gets a trophy! or at least, 24 of the 28 schools may get a bowl bid (giggle)

Rutgers became the 9th Big Ten bowl-eligible team last week (before getting crushed yet again today). Other possibles:

- Michigan 5-5, tied with Maryland at halftime (then Ohio St. so beat MD)
- Northwestern 5-6, beat Purdue (must/could beat Illinois)
- Illinois 5-6, beat Penn State (must/could beat Northwestern)

only Purdue and Indiana are out.
I'm hoping for 11, since I assume any bowl has to suck up to the Big Ten for future purposes. Ill and NU can't both make it since the loser head-to-head is out.


SEC has 10 bowl eligibles with Florida and South Carolina beating tomato cans today. Other possibles:

- Tennessee 5-5, has Mizzou tonight (then Vanderbilt)
- Arkansas 5-5, leads Ole Miss at halftime 17-0 (!) (then Mizzou)
- Kentucky 5-6, is off (then Louisville)

only Vanderbilt is out. that's what they deserve for expecting students in uniforms to be able to compete in this league.

UPDATE of the UPDATE

BOWL ELIGIBLES

AAC 5 yes, 5 no (Temple must beat Tulane)
ACC 11 yes, 3 no
Big 12 has 6 yes, 3 no (Okla St must upset Okla)
Big Ten has 10 yes, 4 no
Conf USA 7 yes, 5 no
Indys 3 yes, 1 no
Mid-American 6 yes, 7 no
Mountain West 7 yes, 5 no
Pac 12 has 8 yes, 4 no
SEC 12 yes, 2 no
Sun Belt 6 yes, 5 no

unofficially, that's 81 bowl eligibles, 44 out, and 2 on the bubble

looks like there are 36 regular bowl games and 2 semis, so they need "only" 76 teams


so which 5 or 6 teams get the sad trombone music?
the Sun Belt has 4 bowl eligibles with 5 or 6 losses, and Ohio in the Mid-American is 6-6
