Like I mentioned above, Vegas has us at 8.5 regular season wins. To me, 8 would mean we failed on the field. But I'd be happy with 9 and a bowl win, subject to the below caveat:
Obviously, not all wins and losses are created equal. If we win 9 regular season games but - God forbid - got stomped by the Gaytors and F$U, that's unquestionably a failure. But if we win 9 games, lose a close bowl game to a strong team, and blowout the Gaytors and F$U I think that's something most of us would sign up for right now. Not even Saban or Dabo won 10 games their first season at Bama or Clemson.
