I believe that gets occasionally waived if a bowl game can't find any team that meets that requirement.
5-7 teams have played in bowl games before.
I personally think a team should have to have a winning record to play in one, but given the plethora of bowls that wouldn't work.
A 5-7 team has to meet a specific graduate score/rate in order to play in a bowl. Rice of course easily met that requirement.
