The NCAA Division I council approved a plan Monday that will make teams with 5-7 records eligible for at least two bowl bids -- and as many as five -- based on their Academic Progress Rates.

There are 75 teams with at least six victories and a .500 record -- standard bowl-eligibility requirements -- going into the final weekend of the regular season. Eighty are needed. Only three more -- Kansas State, Georgia State and South Alabama -- can get to six wins. All three are underdogs in their games.

Based on 2013-14 APR scores and ranked from best to worst, here are the top seven teams currently with only five wins and whether they have indicated they would participate in a bowl game if invited:

School	APR	Would accept bid?
Nebraska	985	Yes
Missouri	976	No
Kansas State	976	TBD
Minnesota	975	TBD
San Jose State	975	Yes
Illinois	973	TBD
Rice	973	TBD
