There are 38 Group of Five teams, counting UConn and Washington State, that are bowl-eligible through Week 14 of the 2025 college football season.
This year’s bowl-eligible teams also include Delaware and Missouri State. Neither squad was automatically eligible for the postseason due to NCAA rules for teams going from the FCS to the FBS. But there weren’t enough bowl-eligible teams otherwise, so they will get to play in bowl games this year.
