To fill the five remaining bowl positions, the teams with the best APR (Academic Progress Rate) among the 5-7 schools would be considered for the bowls. CBS Sports' Jerry Palm lists seven schools that qualify under this rule.
Here's the list of all bowl-qualified teams via conference. Teams that qualified this weekend are identified with both an "*" and their names in italic.
The 5-7 teams whose APR may lead them to a bowl have their APR listed next to their record.
