    there's a distinct chance we have a much better football team and still win 1 or 2 fewer games than last season.

    It almost has to include an egg bowl win and definitely has to include a bowl game. Even then I'm not going to be satisfied with the Birmingham bowl or 6 losses.

    Looking at that schedule, we should be underdogs for 7 games (OSU, at Aub, LSU, USC, A&M, Bama and Upig), and possibly 8 depending on how ole miss' schedule goes. Based on Mullen's track record, getting to 6 wins with that schedule looks like the ceiling, but in year 5 he's going to have to do a little better than his track record if he wants to keep us believing he can take us to the next level. If we win 6 I'll probably feel the same about this program as I do now - we are in the process of a slow build. If we win 7 I'll be very excited that we are close to actually taking that next step.

    I agree with you somewhat. If we only manage to win 7 in the regular season and are competitive with the big 3 in the West, unlike last year, I will consider it a successful season.
