Note: Six wins makes you bowl eligible in the FBS ranks, but there could be a couple 5-7 teams in the postseason this fall since there are a few bowl spots that aren’t expected to be filled by six-win teams. We’ve also included bowl tie-ins for every conference. Some totals may be one fewer than previous years due to New Year’s Six guidelines.
