If we win all three, how many are in OT because we only scored 17 in regulation?Cautiously optimistic.
Winning all three would be a miracle. Would take it in a heartbeat. I would be truly shocked if it happens.
To me the W/L record is important, but not as important as how you look in the wins and losses. We've looked pretty ugly in some wins, and had some losses that really sting. More wins like Texas A&M would have been nice to see. Fewer wins like those against Virginia.
It just feels like Marioball lends itself to close, hard fought battles that could go either way, even against mediocre teams. That's hard for me to get excited about. At first glance, a 7 point loss to FSU instead of a 40 point loss feels not so bad. Knowing that every game we play against them for the near future will be the same coin toss type of game is not encouraging. You simply don't play for titles by having every game go down to the wire, against darn near everyone. The ball bounces too funny to come out unscathed a few times during the season, at least.
