Now that there are some teams with 6 wins, here is the Week 6 Way Too Early Bowl Eligible Watch:
There are 82 bowl openings (ESPN's list still doesn't include the Holiday Bowl for some reason)
Five teams are bowl eligible:
Georgia
Louisville
Michigan
Oklahoma
USC

23 teams become bowl eligible with one more win:
Air Force
Alabama
Florida State
Fresno State
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Liberty
Maryland
Miami Ohio
Mississippi
Missouri
North Carolina
Notre Dame
Ohio
Ohio State
Oregon
Oregon State
Penn State
Texas
Toledo
Washington
Wyoming

In addition, James Madison and Jacksonville State both have 5 wins; if they get 6, they can become bowl eligible if there are not 82 other 6-win teams (this includes a 6-7 Hawaii or New Mexico State, but not a 6-6 Army), or if they can talk the NCAA into giving them a bowl waiver (although JMU has already tried, and was turned down).
