NCAA rules that all 6-6 teams must get bowl bids before any 5-7 teams

This is good news for the Sunbelt and all G5 conferences.

The NCAA's Division I Council has mandated that all bowl-eligible teams with 6-6 records must be selected for a bowl game before any teams with a 5-7 record can be considered.

The key to this rule, decided at the Council's Wednesday meeting in Indianapolis, is that now bowls won't be able to select teams with losing records from Power 5 conferences over 6-6 teams from mid-major or Group of Five conferences, who end up in lesser bowl games.
