Yes, so as I said 4 posts ago (LOL), the current situation is that right now, we have 3 more eligible teams (81) than bowl slots (78), and that could be 5 if VT and Liberty win next week BUT with Liberty guaranteed to be one of the 5 that miss out.

well Liberty wouldn't have been eligible even if they had been no transition team due to playing 2 FCS teams.
Quite, they only have 5 FBS wins, no matter what happens in the Norfolk State game. You can only count one FCS win over a counting FCS school as an FBS win, so they are already at their end of the year FBS win record at 5. They needed 6+ FBS wins to be "first in" if there were not enough bowl eligible schools.

And there are enough bowl eligible schools, so its all a moot point.

It was a live issue when the bowl tie-in was agreed to, but UMass was their best hope of keeping it alive, and it became a formally dead letter when they lost to Auburn, before we actually knew whether there would be enough bowl eligible schools.
