   I publish this everywhere else, so I might as well do it here...   
   With two weekends to go in the regular season (except for Army-Navy), 64 of   
   the 82 bowl spots are accounted for; 58 teams have six or more wins, and there   
   are six games (at the moment) between five-win teams:   
   Boise State - Utah State (11/18)   
   Georgia Tech - Syracuse (11/18)   
   Marshall - South Alabama (11/18)   
   Nebraska - Wisconsin (11/18)   
   Texas Tech - Central Florida (11/18)   
   Illinois - Northwestern  (11/25)   
   If Hawaii wins out, it will be 6-7, and get in if there are not already 82   
   teams.   
   If there still are not 82, even if you include Hawaii, then James Madison and   
   Jacksonville State both get in. (Should that make 83, the bowls, conferences,   
   and teams will figure it out amongst themselves that James Madison is in and   
   Jacksonville State is    
   out...)   
   If there STILL aren't 82, 5-7 teams (or a 6-6 Army, which it can get to if it   
   wins out) qualify in order of their 4-year APR, with ties broken by their   
   one-year APR. Here is the current order among teams that can still get in on   
   APR:   
   (Numbers in parentheses indicate how many wins each team has)   
   1. Northwestern (5)   
   2. Wisconsin (5)   
   3. Cincinnati (3)   
   4. Wake Forest (4)   
   5. Minnesota (5)   
   6. Boise State (5)   
   7. Rice (4)   
   8. Mississippi State (4)   
   9. Central Florida (5)   
   10. South Carolina (4)   
   11. Michigan State (3)   
   12. Ball State (3)   
   13. Baylor (3)   
   14. Army (4, but only 3 count)   
   15. Georgia Tech (5)   
   16. Temple (3)   
   17. Florida (5)   
   18. Indiana (3)

   34. San Jose State (5)   
   35. Marshall (5)   
   36. Arkansas (3)   
   37. South Alabama (5)   
   38. Colorado State (4)   
   39. Buffalo (3)   
   40. Houston (4)   
   41. Syracuse (5)   
   42. Charlotte (3)   
   43. BYU (5)   
   44. Massachusetts (3)   
   45. North Texas (3)   
   46. Central Michigan (5)   
   47. TCU (4)   
   48. Louisiana (5)   
   49. Florida International (4)   
   50. UTEP (3)   
   51. New Mexico (3)   
   52. Alabama-Birmingham (3)   
   53. Western Michigan (4)   
   54. Southern Mississippi (3)   
   55. Tulsa (3)   
   56. Florida Atlantic (4)   
   Note that California, Colorado, and Washington State can get to 6-6 if they   
   win out, but cannot go to a bowl if 5-7 because of a Pac-12 rule.
