Forgive the stupid question but is it 6 or 7 wins to be bowl eligible? If they are already eligible and lose to USC (finish 6-7) they could very likely still not get an invite I'd imagine.

Ntre Ame is 6-5 right now... their loss to USC will make them 6-6 on the season.

Notre Dame "fans" are like spoiled children, and they showed it today. I can't imagine OSU fans throwing snowballs at our own players in the Shoe.

I hope next week's game is on national TV, and USC embarrasses the hell out of them.

Six wins, but I'm not sure if 7 losses trumps that. Anyone?

Of course that wouldn't be an issue if we weren't talking about Frontbutt and his boys...

2008 Bowl Eligibility Requirements, and Bowl Eligible Teams

[SIZE=-1]To become eligible for postseason play in any FBS bowl game, a team must have a minimum 6 wins in a 12-game schedule, or 7 wins in a 13-game schedule, or be the champion of its conference, and not be on probation that specifically stipulates exclusion from postseason play. One win over a FCS team can count toward the win total each year provided the FCS team has supplied financial aid for football averaging out to at least 56.7 full scholarships (90% of the limit of 63 allowed to FCS schools) over the preceding two years.[/SIZE]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Bowl games with contractual ties must select a team from that conference with seven wins, if one is available. If one is not available, a 6-win team from that conference is next-in-line.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Any berths not filled by a qualifying team from a contracted conference must fill that vacancy with a "spare" team that has 7 wins before any "spare" 6-6 team can be accommodated.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Achieving bowl eligibility does not guarantee a team will be slotted in a bowl game.[/SIZE][/FONT]

The way Charlie is coaching, they should be throwing money because the administration is going to need it for the settlement/buyout.

Worse they can finish the regular season is 6-6, which is bowl eligible.

They aren't beating USC, so they're going to finish 6-6 and go to the Sun or the Gator Bowl and get killed.

The USC line may be 21 or something.

Yep, my bad. I was thinking this made them 6-6, then 6-7 after next weeks bloodletting.

Guy we are young we have to crawl before we walk just think with all this talent next year we can compete with the syracuses. We have got to learn to be patient you don't just roll over a syracuse team on senior day with this young talent.look at the way our o-line is starting to gel i hope we don't lose latina to the nfl(not that weis with his genius playcalling couldn't save us).just think of our recruiting classes are getting so strong. can somebody tell me what the hell nick saban is doing with alabama he is ruining all of my excuses. And i have to tell you the last time our wide reciever came in motion to the left and stopped at the end of the line my 2 year old daughter yelled out run left i almost crapped myself because it was a run left (maybe she has some genius in her also who knows i will keep my eye on her).
