Tressel won the title for the 2002 season, so that season shouldn't be counted as a season
since he won a title. 2003 was the first season since his last NC, 2004 the second, etc. 2008 was the sixth season since the 2002 NC season, so 2009 will be the seventh. IronBuckI is right. So there.
As for his window closing...no way. Look at the great recruiting classes he's getting and how he's continually cranking BCS bowl teams. Hell, Bear Bryant had to wait eight seasons from his 1965 national title when he won it in 1973, and then he turned around and won two more five and six years after (1978, 1979). If anything, Bryant proved you can win NCs nearly 20 years apart.
