I prefer to consider the season outcome based on where we are ranked at the end of the year. To some degree it is interchangeable with record but I just prefer to compare us to the entire NCAA and not just our schedule.
I see us as coming out somewhere in the middle of the top 25. Until we see evidence to the contrary, that is what the recruitment rankings say. Based on the yearly rankings for the last 5 years, we have been bouncing around between #8 to #17. It is fair to expect our results to mimic our talent level. Anything above is unrealistic and anything below is disappointing.
So here is how it shakes out for me based on season ending ranking.
#1-#4 =Somebody check the Hecht for animal sacrifices because it would require some serious supernatural JuJu to make that happen
#5-#10 =Very pleasant surprise. Not out of the question but will take some breaks
#11-#15 =Meets Expectations
#16-#25 =Mildly to Significant Disappointment.
Unranked =Disastrous and a setback
That is my framework for judging the season.
