2017 Bowl Ban

[kendesu]

Would Ole Miss have made a bowl in 2017 without a ban?

Maybe yes, maybe no,

but by Not being eligible, they are removed from the SEC pool of $.

That is the Big issue with this.

 

[RightOfCenter]

I would say no. They might outscore folks but that defense should be terrible. And terrible is pumping sunshine.

Their exemplary compliance started before the amended NOA was received by self imposing their bowl ban for 2016**

If being completely honest, yes. 6-7 wins

South Alabama - W
UT Marting - W
Cal - maybe
Bama - L
Auburn - L
Vandy - W
LSU - L
Ark - W
Kentucky - W
UL Lafayette - W
TAMU - L
MSU - L

Cal is breaking in a new coach too, so they could very well win that one.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

I'm hoping for only 5 wins...at California and at Kentucky will hopefully be tougher road trips.

In all honesty, it's really not a big penalty unless they extend it to 2018, which in my opinion, they will. If nothing else, they want to penalize them for not nuking the 2017 season last January when they had the first letter. And with the new one out now, 2 years is probably necessary. Anyways, a 2018 bowl ban would certainly cripple the program, as that would be the 2016 class' 3rd year on campus and when they are looking to make their NFL jump. They'd all transfer.
