Six wins makes an FBS team bowl eligible; the NCAA counts at most one win over an FCS team, which this table does not separate out, and a 5-7 team can still be picked when there are more bowl places than eligible teams. Games left are the regular-season games still on the schedule; conference title games are added when they are set.
