103 teams have a chance at a bowl game with two weeks to go in the 2024 college football season

It’s extremely unlikely that a sub-.500 team will be needed to fill out the bowl field.

Out of the 134 teams at the top level of college football, over 100 still have a path to a bowl game with two weeks to go in the regular season. Of those 103 schools, 63 teams have six or more wins and are already bowl-eligible.

There are spots for 82 teams in the 2024 postseason. Twelve teams will make the expanded College Football Playoff and there are 35 non-playoff bowls. Given the number of teams already qualified for a bowl game and those that are one win away, it’s very possible that some six-win teams could get left out of the postseason entirely.

Here’s a look at how each conference’s bowl hopefuls stand entering Week 13.

AAC

Going bowling: Army (9-0), Tulane (8-2), Memphis (9-2), East Carolina (6-4)

Needs one win: South Florida (5-5), UTSA (5-5), North Texas (5-5)

The AAC is the only conference that doesn’t need to worry about who is playing in the title game. Army and Tulane will meet each other on Dec. 6. East Carolina has won three straight after a coaching change to get bowl-eligible, while South Florida has games against Tulsa and Rice remaining to get to a bowl. UTSA plays Temple in Week 13 before a season-ending trip to Army.

ACC

Going bowling: SMU (9-1), Miami (9-1), Clemson (8-2), Syracuse (7-3), Pitt (7-3), Duke (7-3), Louisville (6-4), Georgia Tech (6-4), North Carolina (6-4)

Needs one: Virginia (5-5), Virginia Tech (5-5), NC State (5-5), Boston College (5-5), Cal (5-5)

Win out: Wake Forest (4-6)

As many as 15 teams can make a bowl game in the ACC, though Wake Forest needs wins at Miami and Duke to get to a bowl game. That’s probably not going to happen. Virginia and Virginia Tech could meet in the final week of the regular season with bowl eligibility on the line for one or both of them.
