Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 05:59:45 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Football Bowl Subdivision newcomers James Madison and Jacksonville State along with five-win Minnesota are bound for bowls because of a shortage of eligible teams.Those three teams round out the 82 available spots because only 79 teams achieved the six wins necessary for bowl eligibility.James Madison (11-1) and Jacksonville State (8-4) are still transitioning to full FBS status and would not be eligible if there were enough six-win teams.James Madison, after having two appeals of bowl eligibility rules rejected by the NCAA, had threatened legal action to be allowed to play in a bowl.

Mississippi State (985) would have been the next 5-7 team in line.The Gophers finished th...
