This week six more teams became bowl eligible, so there are now 64 total. There are 19 other teams that have either five or six losses, so technically there are 83 teams still alive for the 80 bowl slots. But because it's the last week of the regular season for most conferences, nearly all those teams are 5-6, and one is 4-6 with two games left.
Here's the bowl picture by conference (does not include the six at large bids):
AAC (7 bowls): 7 in – USF, Houston, Tulsa, Temps, Navy, Memphis, UCF; 1 other – SMU (5-6); 8 total
ACC/ND (12 bowls): 9 in – Clemson, L'ville, UNC, VaTech, Wake, FSU, Pitt, GaTech, MiamiF; 2 others – NCSt (5-6), BC (5-6); 11 total
Big 12 (7 bowls): 5 in – Baylor, WVU, Okla St, Okla, KState; 2 others – TCU (5-5), Tex (5-6); 7 total

Sun Belt (4 bowls): 4 in – Troy, App St, Idaho, Ark St; 2 others – SBama (5-5), ULL (4-6); 6 total
* – Army played two 1AA schools, so it needs seven wins for bowl eligibility. With six wins, though, it'll be first in line if there aren't 80 bowl eligible teams. Army's last game is vs Navy on Dec 10.
