Don’t we have to win 6 FBS games? Do FCS games count towards bowl eligibility?

Maybe someone can clear it up for us.

I seem to remember reading that you have to win 6 FBS games but I could be wrong.

We're losing to everybody. And the two td victory over Liberty will feel like a loss too.

Just recently FSU was technically not eligible because one of their wins was against FCS. Still made it to a bowl.

I thought I heard if you had two FCS teams on your schedule only one can count. Liberty is FBS though.

One win against FCS counts.

Bowl eligibility in college football at the NCAA Division I FBS level is the standard through which teams become available for selection to participate in postseason bowl games. When a team achieves this state, it is described as "bowl-eligible".

For nearly a century, bowl games were the purview of only the very best teams, but a steady proliferation of new bowl games required 70 participating teams by the 2010–11 bowl season, then 80 participating teams by the 2015–16 bowl season. As a result, the NCAA has steadily reduced the criteria for bowl eligibility, allowing teams with a non-winning (6–6) record in 2010, further reducing to allow teams with outright losing records (5-7) to be invited by 2012. For the 2016–17 bowl season, 25% of the bowl participants (20 teams) did not have a winning record.

Current regulations have also lowered the criteria to allow a team to include one win against teams in the lower FCS Division.[1]

Teams that are bowl eligible will usually either play in one of the bowl games that its conference is affiliated with based on conference tie-ins or the team will be chosen from the pool of remaining bowl eligible teams to fill one of the at-large positions. The various reductions in the bowl eligibility criteria are discussed below.

FCS wins don't count, but we'll get in with a waiver from the NCAA. Auburn in a bowl game is much more profitable than passing us over for a mid-major. You can get into a bowl with only 5 total wins depending on how many bowl eligible teams are available.

And this after going to a 12 game season.

A 41% winning record gets a bowl
