If a bowl has one or more conferences/institutions unable to meet their contractual commitments and if there are no other remaining bowl-eligible teams, NCAA staff will provide a list of team that bowl management may consider in order in the following pools:

First Pool: - Those that finish 6-6 but are not usually bowl eligible because the team has a win against an FCS team that does not meet the necessary financial aid requirements.

Second Pool: - Those that have a 6-6 record but beat two FCS teams.

Third Pool: - Those that finished with a 6-7 record, with their seventh loss being in a conference championship game,

Fourth Pool: - Allow a team that played 13 games, but finished with a 6-7 record.

Fifth Pool: - Allow a team that is in the second year of reclassifying to FBS football and has at least a 6-6 record.

Sixth Pool: - Any of the top 5 APR teams with a 5-7 record.

I have seen this posted all over the place after searching around looking at what might happen if Georgia Tech loses to FSU. What I can make out of it best is this... It seems it's mapped out to say that GT must win or it falls behind a couple other teams and that it might just flat out be out of a bowl. However, it wouldn't surprise me one damn bit if GT got the waiver just like UCLA did last year, even though the NCAA changed the policy after last season.
