There are 82 bowl openings ("I thought you said 80" - I did, but apparently somebody threw in a 41st bowl game), and 73 bowl eligible teams going into Thanksgiving weekend; also, the Ball State-Miami Ohio and Appalachian State-Georgia Southern winners will have 6 wins, so that's 75 teams.
It looks like only 11 teams have any chance of getting in with a 5-7 record, unless a 5-7 team on the list declines a bowl bid:
(Teams with asterisks already have 5 wins, and a win this weekend makes them bowl eligible automatically)
1. * Rice
2. Iowa State
3. UNLV
4. Virginia (assuming it beats Virginia Tech and gets the NCAA to count its canceled game as a win for bowl eligibility)
5. * Michigan State
6. * Auburn
7. * Missouri
8. * Miami
9. Army (which has to win both of its remaining games)
10. * Georgia Tech
11. * Miami Ohio
