Bowl Eligible Teams, Who’s On The Bubble: Week 9

October isn't over yet, but several teams are already bowl eligible, and some are in desperate need of a big win to set up a possible November run.

Teams like Georgia, Ohio State, and Michigan might not have far bigger goals than bowl eligibility. However, it's a really, really, really big deal for UNLV, Rutgers, and even for a program like Missouri, who was expecting to go bowling, but it locked down a spot way earlier than most expected.

Who's in, who's out, and who will will likely get to six wins to become bowl eligible? (There's a chance some 5-7 teams might get in if there aren't enough that hit the six-win mark, but we'll get into that in a few weeks if needed).

Below is the bowl situation and status for every conference and every team with the current record listed first, followed by our predicted final record - we'll change up both as the rest of the season rolls along.
