MemphisHog says...

Will a victory over Northern Arizona make Ole Miss bowl eligible? I gathered that only one Football Championship Series victory could be counted toward bowl eligibility and they already have one. If only one of those victories count, and if they have to be at least .500 to be eligible, 50% of 11 games would be 5-1/2; hence they would have to have 6 wins not counting one of the two smaller college victories.

Memphis Hog:

You are exactly correct. Here is an excerpt from ESPN's Chris Low:

"The Rebels (5-3, 2-3) will have to beat either the Vols, Tigers or Bulldogs to gain bowl eligibility. The win over Northern Arizona won’t count, because the Rebels already have one win over an FCS opponent (Southeastern Louisiana)."
