I respect your consistency.

We're talking MINIMUM expectations here. I voted 6. That would make us bowl eligible. Even, God forbid, if its the Pinstripe Bowl. No one should have to play football in a baseball stadium or vice versa. More than 6 would make be happy.

Akron -- I expect a win
Colorado -- I expect a win
Troy -- I expect a win
Michigan -- I expect a loss but desire a win
Purdue -- I expect a win
Wisconsin -- I expect a loss
Northwestern -- I expect a loss but desire a win
Minnesota -- I expect a win
Ohio St. -- I expect a loss
Illinois -- I expect a win
Michigan St. -- I expect a win but could be disappointed
Iowa -- I expect a win but could be disappointed

So I guess that puts me at 8 wins. Will be disappointed if we do lose to MI, NW, MSU, or IA...if we don't play a hard fought fight. But a 8 win season I will be good, 6 wins I will be disappointed, less than that I will be not happy with the season.

I agree with your break down completely.

I expect them to win 7. Winning 8 would exceed my expectations. Seven wins in regular season and a bowl win for 8 would make me happy.

In my totally unbiased opinion, we’re never losing again.

Pretty sure a lot of people don't have any expectations, most of them would likely be satisfied by anything over 6.

Agree. The Pinstripe Bowl should be banned. You want to play football in December, play in a football stadium.
I think Northwestern is playing at Wrigley again either this year or next. Crazy.

I voted 7. I would be happy with one big upset win. Are we going to see this poll pop up again in 5 years

Yes but it will be slightly different. How many more national championships will satisfy you before Coach Frost retires.

 

[katymac]

I'm not greedy, how about two.

I'm not greedy, how about two.

Only if you are talking in one Saturday.

Is there a poll asking “how many more win total polls do we have to endure before they actually start playing games?”

 

[Despicable Me]

7 would satisfy me for this year, and anything over that would be outstanding! Can't wait to get back to having a team that is capable of winning every game!

I'll put 6 for now. I think they can reach that with the better coaching, but with the schedule, a new, possibly very young QB, and depth issues, I think it will be tough to get more than that. I'll still be focused more on the way the team acts under adversity, shows effort, and hopefully shows improvement through the season even if it does not equate to wins yet.
