Oh, the humanity.

I'm starting to understand how m2 can count on 12 losses on Cal's way to winning the BCS.

Cal 2004 PAC-10 Champs???
I know, I know... Innocent until proven guilty and all that, but I want to offer a hypothetical assessment of the situation...
If you look at the timeline of the sordid Reggie Bush affair, it shows that he met with Michaels in November of 2004:
November 2004 – LaMar Griffin and Lake approached Michaels about investing in the sports agency. Watkins said Michaels met Bush and his family for the first time around this date, and was led to believe that the agency would eventually have Bush as a client. "There was the representation that Reggie would come with his stepfather," Watkins said. "Reggie ratified that."
If the clock starts ticking at this point in November because of the extra benefits he and his family received, then let's hypothetically say pU$C must forfeit all of their games in which Reggie participated after he received the extra benefits. The following is a list of awards and championships they would have to forfeit:
- 2004 National Championship
- 2004 PAC-10 Championship (Cal champion at 8-0)
- Nov 2, 2004 - #1 USC 28, Oregon State 20
- Nov 9, 2004 - #1 USC 49, Arizona 9
- Dec 4, 2004 - #1 USC 29, UCLA 24
- 2005 PAC-10 Championship (Oregon champion at 8-0)
- 2005 Heisman Trophy
We don't know the exact date in November 2004 in which the infractions first took place, but there could be up to 3 PAC-10 wins they would have to forfeit, giving Cal the championship.The official Heisman ballot includes this wording: "In order that there will be no misunderstanding regarding the eligibility of a candidate, the recipient of the award MUST be a bonafide student of an accredited university. The recipient must be in compliance with the bylaws defining an NCAA student."
I realize it's very early to jump to any conclusions, and a lot has to happen for it to come to this, but I thought I would throw this out there as food for thought...
