6 wins for eligibility, 7 wins to lock a berth. Though, in essence, with 33,000 bowl games, 6 wins clinches now, especially for a BCS conference school
Yeah, doesn't the SEC have 8 spots committed to them? 1 auto, 1 at large, and 6 others? The at large and 6 others are dependent upon records. I don't think the SEC had 8 bowl teams last year, but it did have the auto and at-large spot.

A 6-6 season does make a team elligible for post season play. But 7-5 would clinch it. Btw, North Texas went to a bowl game in 2002 or 2001 with a 5-6 record. Of course they won the Sun Belt so that gave them the birth.

I'd prefer 7 wins, but rest assured Alabama would get a berth due to the slots set aside for SEC teams. Plus, We have been to more bowls, have more bowl victories, and travel extremely well.

The SEC has 8 bowl tie ins.1 BCS bowl to the Champion.Then as follows
Cap One Orlando
Cotton Dallas
Chick Fil A Atlanta
Outback Tampa
Liberty Memphis
Music City Nashville
Independence Shreveport
This can change if an SEC team gets an at large bid to a BCS game.Everyone moves up a spot in the pecking order and the Music city then can pick a Big 10 team to fill in.I think we can go as high as the Cotton Bowl again if Arkansas wins the SEC and gets a BCS game.We would have to beat Auburn or LSU for this to happen.This said i believe we will be in Memphis or Atalnta.

yeah, it's really pretty pathetic that a team can go .500 and go to a bowl. that's about on par with kindergarten "graduation" ceremonies.

yet another example of the the modern american celebration of mediocrity.
