Wins vs Loses -- What would satisfy you?

[Shift 350]

Just curious what everyone's mood is.  Where does Auburn need to finish for you to declare the season a success?  Not really looking for a litany of if's and but's, just simply numbers.

For me it would 9-3.

[Piketiger1990 173]

At least 8 and a win over either lsu, bama, or Clemson. 

[AUsince72 11,084]

There's always gotta be 1 "if" in my mind...

I'm okay with 7-8 wins IF at least one is thUga or uat.

If they lose both, even 10-11 wins are "empty" to me....but I admit, that's just me.

GOTTA beat at least 1 of them EVERY year.

[aubiefifty 17,492]

i am going with 9 wins and a good bowl......

[jared52 4,356]

16-0. I'm never satisfied.

[doc4aday 1,887]

My head says 9-3 for the season but my heart says 16-0

Given that we can only play a max 15 games, I can understand why you're never satisfied.

You got the joke! Well done. 

[AUIH1 1,515]

9 regular season wins with one of those against uga or spuat.

Also, I would love for people to add what games they believe we will win.

I know we haven't beaten Georgia without NC teams in just a bout over a decade, so it's sad we have to put a team like Geogia with a new dtaff and TF QB on up there with Bama.

Just a personal preference.  uga is our 2nd biggest rival and the way they have just abused us for most of the last decade is ridiculous.  This season, beating LSU would be a bigger accomplishment since I think LSU will be the 3rd best team on our schedule after spuat and Clemson.

For many of us who grew up in Ga (I grew up less than an hour from Athens) the thUga game is right up with uat every year, regardless of recent history.

ThUga fans are basically bammers without the trophies...

Yes 

[cole256 17,085]

I have to see how we play, then I can make a decision on if we are playing to our potential or not. Of course never losing to teams like Kentucky, vandy, etc

If we play to our potential what win total would it take for you? just curious

[gr82be 14,643]

It doesn't matter which season we're talking about or what the previous season's results were to me. I don't always expect 10 wins but if it's less than 10 wins I'm not satisfied. 

[cole256 17,085]

Well it depends. If we played great against lsu I wouldn't say we should've lost to arky. But I also look at our progression through the season. But I don't think I'd have too much negative to say if we won 9 games

[tomtomwde 22]

At least 9 for me. Have to beat Georgia and would love to beat bama and lsu.

Don't lose to the east or Mississippi schools

7 Wins:

Arkansas State

Arkansas

ULM

Miss St

Vandy

Alabama A&M

Aggies

We should win All of these games. No excuses

I imagine we can win our bowl game too.  Everything else is a plus

Losing to any of these guys is unsatisfactory.

If we were to beat LSU my expectations rise to beating Ole Miss, thUGA, and Bama.

Surely we can get to 9 wins.  8 mildly disappointed. 7 and I'm looking with a very jaundiced eye at our staff.

[muxi87 148]

We've got to beat Bammer and/or thUGA.

I think out of all them, UGA gives us the best chance of having a 9 win season. 

[StuntMan06 14]

9 wins. I think our greatest chance for an upset is Clemson. Early in the season every one is rusty. We may be favored against UGA this year. We WILL BEAT Arky. Mark my words!

[tombigbeetiger 223]

if we finish 8-5, i'll be more than satisfied with the job malzahn did....won't happen, though....we'll finish 5-7
