The rule apparently only applies if you go up in divisions. So I wouldn't think it it would be designed to curtail division jumping if they are expected to do poorly in their first season after the jump anyway.


I remember this rule from Troy moving up. Didn't matter because they only won like 4-5 games that year, but this has been the rule for a long time, and this is the perfect opportunity to challenge it. Yeah the Belt sucks as a whole, but going 8-0 in any league should be enough to get you to a bowl game.

It is not often a team playing its first year at the FBS reaches the six-win minimum for typical bowl eligibility.


Old Dominion is bowl eligible this season as well.

Some teams will be left out this season.

82 teams bowl eligible (including GSU and ODU) with only 76 teams getting invites this season. Not to mention Oklahoma State and Temple can still become bowl eligible this weekend.
