CBS Sports will update this page each week through the end of college football's 2023 season as an increasing number of teams became bowl eligible ahead of the College Football Playoff and the bowl selection process. For a complete breakdown of the bowl projections as they stand, check out Jerry Palm's dedicated page.
In order for an FBS team to officially become bowl-eligible, it needs at least six wins with a minimum winning percentage of .500. A total of 82 teams are needed to fill all 41 bowl games. Teams can only count one win against an FCS opponent toward the total number of wins needed for bowl eligibility.
After Week 13, there are officially 79 bowl-eligible teams with three slots still open. Since none of the conference championship games will add to the number of bowl eligible teams, three teams that would not otherwise be eligible will be added to fill the extra spots Those will be marked in the bowl-eligible table with an asterisk (*).
