I've been wondering if they're regretting not self-imposing a bowl ban last year, with the likelihood that the NCAA wouldn't add this year to it.  Would've shown the NCAA that they considered the infractions to be serious, instead of the cavalier punishment they gave themselves.  Sure, they would've penalized last year's seniors, but the prospects for them having a good season last year weren't great anyway, because of all the turmoil.  Now they have a senior class that may well go unbeaten, but can't play for a Big Tedozen championship or be in a bowl game.  No shot at a national title.  They will always wonder "What if...."

Oh, and there are only three bowl eligible teams in the nation this morning.  Oregon, South Carolina and OHIO.

Alabama (5-0), Oregon* (6-0), Florida (5-0), South Carolina* (6-0), Kansas St (5-0), West Virginia (4-0), Norte Dame (5-0), Ohio St.** (6-0), Oregon St. (4-0), Miss. St. (5-0), Rutgers (5-0), Louisiana Tech (4-0), Cincinnati (4-0), UTSA (4-0), Ohio* (6-0)

* Bowl Eligible, ** Not eligible for post season

Those teams are going to be very tired for any sort of conference title game.

Good stuff clearing some of that up.  Also, UTSA has actually played 5 games, but at least one was against a DII school.
