   "How do you get into a bowl in the first place?"   
   Quick version: six wins and you're in   
   Slightly longer version: there are some exceptions:   
   1. Teams that play 13 regular season games need 7 wins - this year, only New   
   Mexico State and Hawaii played 13   
   2. Teams that play two FCS teams and beat both of them can only count one -   
   the only team this year that did this is Army   
   3. James Madison, Jacksonville State, and Sam Houston are in the second year   
   of their FCS-to-FBS transitions, so they are not "automatically" bowl eligible   
   with six wins, but can become bowl eligible - see below   
      
   "What happens if there aren't 82 bowl eligible teams?"   
   Then teams are added in this order:   
   1. Any 6-7 team (there won't be any)   
   2. James Madison and Jacksonville State, since they both have at least six wins   
   3.  Enough 5-7 teams (or a 6-6 Army, which it can get to if it beats Navy) to   
   fill the remaining spots, in order of their four-year football Academic   
   Progress Rate (APR), with ties broken by one-year football APR
