How Are The Bowls Decided?

[Crowes]

A conference champ game is considered the 13th regular season game in that rule. Or that's how it reads to me.

That is how I am seeing it as well.

[Crowes]

How else would a team play 13 regular season games to force that to be in the rule?

There is some kind of clause, I will see if I can find it, that has to do with playing at Hawaii. Cincinnati was 11-2 last year before they played in the Orange Bowl because they played @ Hawaii to end the year. I will try and find it.

Found Trendon's loophole:

Clarification of Selection Procedures
The following items provide clarification to selection procedure questions that have been
brought to the subcommittee in previous years.
1. A conference may not vacate one of its contracted commitments in order to provide
its team to an at-large sport in another bowl game that cannot fill its spots.
2. A conference team that is 6-6 and plays in a conference championship game and
loses to finish with a record of 6-7 may apply for a waiver to allow that team to be
considered for a postseason bowl. Conditions that will be considered in such a waiver
include whether or not all other conference teams under consideration have 6-6 records
and there are not a sufficient number of winning teams to meet the conference’s bowl
commitments.
3. A bowl may not opt out of a contractual agreement with a conference in order to
secure a commitment from another conference without NCAA approval in as much
as a bowl’s license is based on its primary agreement with Conference A.

So submit that waiver. Based on this they can counted as a 6-6 team. I don't remember how many bowls there are but there are 53 teams that are 7-5 with another (including Buffalo & Tulsa) 17 teams at 6-6. So in the words of Lloyd Christmas, "So you're saying there's a chance."
