Rivalry Week is underway and while much needs to be determined regarding the national championship race there is another pressing issue regarding the bowls. Are there enough eligible teams? With 35 bowls there are 70 bowl slots to be filled. Coming into today there are only 54 bowl eligible teams and only 15 teams have five wins with three Saturdays left in the season. As a reminder, these are projections based on how I think the season will play out as opposed to a "if the season ended today" situation.
