Congrats to James Madison and Jacksonville State. Because there were not enough bowl-eligible teams, the Dukes and Gamecocks are bowl-bound in their second year reclassifying from FCS to FBS.
There ended up being 79 bowl-eligible teams to fill 82 spots. JMU and JSU earned bids, and only one team with a 5-7 record — Minnesota — was needed to fill out all of the bowl commitments.
On the final weekend, 12 teams reached the magic six-win mark to reach bowl eligibility.
The Sun Belt will have a conference record 12 teams in bowls. The ACC also will have 12 teams, including Notre Dame, followed by the SEC, Big 12 and Big Ten with nine teams each.
