I forget, can we shun are AAC bowl tie-ins in favor of filling other conference tie-ins where they don't have enough teams?   The Big 12 looks like a real possibility, if Oklahoma gets into the playoff, and TCU gets the NY6 bowl, they are looking at possibly 4-5 more teams bowl eligible with 6 bowl tie-ins.  All 6 bowl matchups are slated against P5 conferences. 

The Liberty Bowl and Independence Bowl are our backup agreements. They have seven bowl agreements and six currently eligible, but K-state and Texas tech are one win from a bowl. I don't think we should count on the Liberty Bowl.

I like where your heads at, but actually Last year Temple played at Navy for the CCG and then had to go back for the Military Bowl.

They have only 5 eligible as of now with Texas, Texas Tech and K St at 5 wins.  And they all (Texas - WVU/Tx Tech,  Texas Tech - TCU /Texas, and K St - Okie St/Iowa St) end the year with a difficult path.  Very possible that the Texas/Texas Tech winner is the only add of eligible teams to bring them to 6.  And if they place Oklahoma into the playoffs, then they only have 5 available for 7 agreements.  

You also have a similar case with the Big Ten.  They currently have 7 eligible teams with Minn at 5-5 (and they close @NW and Wisc - two possible losses).  If Minn doesn't get another win, and if Wisconsin or Ohio St make the playoff, they will have 6 eligible teams for 8 bowl agreements.  

Anyway, hopefully this is all for other teams to care about and we handle business in Orlando and against Memphis.

At what point is it allowed that bowls can dip into the five win teams?

I believe after all 6 win teams have been offered (and accepted) a spot, they move on to 5 win teams in APR order.

I think it's when there are no 6 win teams left
