Virginia went 7-4 in '88, '92, '97 without going bowling..and Syracuse went 7-4 in '94 without going bowling....those are some teams right off the top of my head..Im sure there's dozens more..but the '97 Virginia team seems like it was the last team in the "if you go .500, you go bowling" era to win 7 games in a major conference and not go to a bowl..

But you also need to realize how many more bowls there are this year. I saw somewhere that described the selection process for SEC teams and who has to be picked before who. I'll try to find it again and let you guys know.
