The open non-MAC slots would appear to be:
Quick Lane Bowl (from ACC) vs B10
Armed Forces Bowl (from B10) vs MWC
Cheeze It Bowl (from Pac12) vs B12
Liberty Bowl (from SEC) vs B12
Birmingham Bowl (from SEC) vs AAC
Independence Bowl (from SEC) vs ACC
Anyone who was kept up with the qualifiers......how many other conferences other than the MAC will have a surplus of teams that exceeds their existing tie-ins, if any?
CUSA has three: FIU (6-6), SNiss (7-5) and either T'erd or WKU (each at 8-4).
MWC has one, either UtahSt, Wyoming or Nevada (all at 7-5).
Then there's independent Liberty (7-5, but with two 1AA wins).
So with the four 6-6 MAC teams, that's nine teams for eight bowl games (maybe the six mentioned above plus a slot in the Frisco Bowl and one MAC bowl).
Of course, this can change depending on who gets in the playoff and the two Cotton Bowl slots.
