Post-Week 12 bowl projections: Over 60 teams are already bowl-eligible
With two weeks left in the regular season and no movement at the top of the College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night, it’s a good time to look at the current bowl landscape.
Sixty-four teams have already qualified for bowl games by getting to six or more wins in 2019. And there are plenty more that can still make a bowl game over the next two weeks of the season by getting to .500. Here are the teams in each conference that are already bowl-eligible and those that can still get to one, though upsets will be required for many in the latter category.
Eighty teams will go to bowl games after the 2019 season.
