Auburn, Florida State, Baylor Among Teams to Decline Bowl Bids
According to On3's Brett McMurphy, at least seven 5-7 teams have declined bowl bids, including Florida State, Auburn, UCF, Baylor, Rutgers, Temple, and Kansas. Usually, teams have to win six games to qualify for a bowl, but Notre Dame, Kansas State, and Iowa State have all opted out of bowl games, and the search is on to find an opponent for Georgia Southern in the Birmingham Bowl. 5-7 teams, Mississippi State and Rice, have accepted bowl berths, but the bowl system is one team short. Many 5-7 programs believed their season was over at the end of Week 14, so players are scattered, and many programs have moved on to the first phase of the offseason in preparation for the 2026 campaign.
