Bammer ineligible
According to NCAA rules, the University of Alabama football team is on probation and therefore is required to receive 0 (zero) points from the USA Today Coaches poll, giving them a recalculated BCS average of 0.6656, thus moving them down to number 8 on the BCS final standings: See attached link

Under long-standing AFCA policy a school is inelgible for Coaches' Poll
consideration if it is under "major NCAA probation" that includes any
of the following penalties in a given season:

1. Live television ban
2. Postseason competition ban
3. Loss of 20 percent of total football scholarships

Alabama received none of these penalties from the NCAA as a result of
the investigation you referenced and is therefore eligible to receive
votes in the USA Today/AFCA Coaches' Poll this season.

Thank you for your interest in the AFCA.
