they won the sun belt with a 5-6 record, but the statement that a team NEEDS a winning record is incorrect. utterly so. |

nice changing the question after the fact. It is absolutely correct in regards to at-large bowl bids. |
(conveniently snipped) statement.

In general, you need a winning record (typically 6-5) to be in a bowl game. Though frankly I am not sure what would happen if a conference champion had a winning record and the bowl game had an automatic bid for that particular conference champion :-) |
that a team must win 6 games against Division I-A opponents (as opposed
to NAIA opponents and/or NCAA Division I-AA or lower) and must have a
winning record to be eligible for a bowl game. Theoretically a team
could play as many as 14 games before bowl season if they played in
Hawaii (or somewhere else outside the continental US) and played a
pre-season classic and also played a conference championship. (I can't
recall any team playing more than 13 non-Bowl games in a season,
however...)
The NCAA made an exception in 2001: a team only needed a 5-5 record or
better with no more than 1 win over a Division I-AA opponent. That was
because virtually every team had a game cancelled after 9/11. This
year, several games were postponed because of hurricanes in the
southeast, but these were made up in November and December.
