Bowl eligibility is the first goal of all 133 college football programs at the beginning of the season. Six wins is a magical marker, and for some programs the minimum expectation. Who are the bowl eligible college football teams as we progress through the 2023 season? Let’s take a look at the teams who have earned a spot in the college post season through Week 8.
Which College Football Teams Are Bowl Eligible?
Below is a list of bowl eligible college football teams so far. To be bowl eligible, a team must win six games on the year. Additionally, those six wins must only contain one win against a non-FBS opponent.
A total of 82 teams are required to fill the college football bowl schedule. Should there not be enough six-win teams, teams with a winning record below .500 or with multiple FCS wins may be considered.
