What does DMN know that I don't?

Bowl watch
Teams must win at least six games to become bowl eligible, but that doesn't guarantee a bowl. Conference USA has six guaranteed bowl tie-ins. If more than six league teams are bowl eligible, those with 6-6 records could be left out. Six C-USA teams currently have four wins or more. Tulsa and Houston are already bowl eligible.
Um...I've done previews for three weeks straight now, and I only count five guaranteed tie-ins this year. Next year, it will be 7.
