There are extenuating circumstances which would permit 7-loss teams to play in bowl games:

If there are "not enough bowl eligible teams to fill every open spot -- there are currently 35 bowls and 70 spots [as of 2012] -- or if a conference doesn't have enough teams to meet its bowl affiliations, the NCAA has a new six-tiered tiebreaker to do just that. . . . Here's how the tiebreakers work.

1.A 6-6 team with a victory against an FCS school.
2.A 6-6 team with two wins against FCS schools.
3.A 6-7 team that loses its conference championship game (hello, 2011 UCLA).
4.A 6-7 team that played a 13-game schedule such as Hawaii and any school that travels to Hawaii to play a game.
5.FCS teams making the move to FBS if they finish with a record of at least 6-6.
6.A 5-7 team if that team finishes with a top-five APR score" (You may see a 5-7 bowl team in the future - CBSSports.com).

Don't we have some restriction regarding our bowl eligibility at 6-6 because of our academic performance?

just watch, we will not be in the top 20 after national signing day, feel free to bump my comment and call me out if CBJ proves me wrong. You just can't get a great class when you don't make it to a bowl game

How'd that recruiting class work out?

I dont want to sound negative but I'm so dang tired of articles and interviews. I am ready to see a kickoff. OK but good article though.
