This is taken directly from CNNSI:

** -- no eligible conference team available. (A .500 team can only fill a conference bowl slot if there is no remaining league team with a better record. A .500 team can only fill other bowl slots if there is no remaining I-A team with a better record.)

Sorry guys. Guess I need to put the reading glasses on.
 
goes down both Tech and UVA should still get bowls games. Ole Miss might get left out in the cold because as I understand it teams with better records have to go to bowls before .500 teams can this season thanks to the 12th game.

Would suit me just fine to bump an SECheat team out of a bowl spot.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif">It doesn't work that way - teams with better records from within the conference go first. Ole Miss will get one of the SEC's bowl slots.
 
As I understand it, this rule only applies to teams within the conference of the 6-6 team, i.e. only SEC teams with better records.
