Currently, there are 80 teams that have clinched bowl eligibility and only 76 spots. A few teams won’t make the cut and the Big Ten made sure to inform its members that it will not “interfere or influence” with the bowl contracts certain games have with other leagues.

"The conference will not interfere or influence our contract bowls' selection rights, nor does it have any control over the CFP," Mark Rudner, Big Ten senior associate commissioner for television administration, wrote to the athletic directors in the memo. "Unless a contract bowl selects a team that is over-exposed because of recent trips to the same bowl or same region, we will not interfere with the bowl's selection."

These circumstances could potentially impact teams like Maryland (7-5), Rutgers (7-5), Penn State (6-6) and Illinois (6-6).

The Big 10 is just too good.

Too many bowl eligible teams.

The cultists at BWI will supply reading material for the entire offseason if they are denied a bowl game. Please let it happen.

Haha Illinois wins 6 when everyone wanted them to fire Beckman. Now may not make a bowl.
