It’s getting down to the wire for schools wanting to play in a bowl this season. See [this link](http://www.cbssports.com/general/writer/jerry-palm/24043695/bowl-eligible-teams) for a rundown of the entire situation. Maybe we can have a little fun picking who may turn the corner this week. Here’s the field: ```auto Teams that need one more win (14) Arkansas State (5-4) 7:30 PM Texas State at Arkansas State Boston College (5-4) 12:30 PM North Carolina State at Boston College Kansas State (5-4) 3:30 PM TCU at Kansas State Maryland (5-4) 12:30 PM Maryland at Virginia Tech Navy (5-4) 3:30 PM South Alabama at Navy Pittsburgh (5-4) 12:30 PM North Carolina at Pittsburgh Rutgers (5-3) 12:00 PM Cincinnati at Rutgers San Diego State (5-4) 10:30 PM San Diego State at Hawaii San Jose State (5-4) 10:30 PM San Jose State at Nevada Syracuse (5-4) 3:30 PM Syracuse at (2) Florida State Troy (5-5) 12:00 PM Troy at Ole Miss UL Monroe (5-5) (idle) UNLV (5-5) (idle) Vanderbilt (5-4) 12:21 PM Kentucky at Vanderbilt ``` Most of these schools will have another crack in the next week or two, but who do you think will get it done this week? Public multiple choice poll coming right up… ---

Well, **Zakalwe** , I guess we’re the only ones who look at that end of the Power Teams list, huh? 🙂 It amuses me how many bowl projections are already out and we still don’t have a complete list of the eligible teams. I’m still hoping UTennessee can qualify, but it’s getting shakier as the games roll by. ---

That’s better! With five of us at this point, it may make for a fun weekend for the 5-x group. Surely some of them will break on through to bowl time potential. ```auto ========================================= ArkSt BostColl KansSt Maryland Navy Pitt Rutgers SanDiegoSt SanJoseSt Syra Troy Vandy NONE ======================================================================================================= Nauplius 5 BostColl KansSt Navy SanDiegoSt Vandy Oakminster 2 BostColl Navy Wolverine 6 ArkSt BostColl Navy Rutgers SanDiegoSt Vandy Zakalwe 8 ArkSt BostColl KansSt Navy Rutgers SanDiegoSt SanJoseSt Vandy Zeldar 6 ArkSt KansSt Navy SanDiegoSt SanJoseSt Vandy ============= ======================================================================================================= 5 27 3 4 3 0 5 0 2 4 2 0 0 4 0 /27 ========================================= ``` ---
