"Vacated" wins do not equate to losses...

A "vacated" win is not a "forfeited" game.
Vacate does not mean forfeit. The teams that lost to Alabama will still have a loss, but Alabama will not count the wins as a win. It will be treated, for purposes of Alabama's record, as if no game were played at all. In other words, assuming 5 of the 7 wins in 2007 are vacated, then Alabama's record will be 2-6 as far as the NCAA is concerned.

The fact that Bama didn't lose any scholarships is the only thing that matters. I wouldn't even bother with the "vacated vs. forfeit" debate - it's all bullshite.
