How awesome is it that a down year for us is now considered 6-6 and bowl eligibility! We never won more than 4 games a season when I was in Athens! Go Ohio!

The lows are higher as the highs will be higher too.

Given that most teams have a "rebuilding year" every 5 or 6 years, on another thread I check to see which non-P5 teams have managed to stay bowl eligible for the last 6 years. The list is short:
Boise State - 17 seasons
BYU - 10 seasons
NIU - 7 Seasons
Notre Dame - 6 Seasons
Ohio - 6 Seasons
