If the wins are vacated, the loss still counts for the opposing team. If they had to forfeit the games, then the opposing team would gain the win.

That suggests to me that the win is just wiped away from the winner, but not given to the loser. If the other team would get the win, then FSU would have an 0-12 record instead of 0-6. That's just me reading between the lines. If anyone knows about this, it would be great to know for sure exactly how it works.

If Bama vacates their 2005 win over us, will that also change OUR record to indicate one additional win?

Alabama said that pending a successful appeal, the decision would cost the program 21 wins, including the 2005 Cotton Bowl victory over Texas Tech and an upset of Florida earlier that season. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
