Have your expectations for the season changed?

Do you still remember your preseason expectations?
Were you expecting a 9-win season? A 10-win season? Maybe even 11? What about winning the Pac-12 Conference? An elite bowl game? Do you still expect UW to reach those goals after what you've seen thus far? Have these games revised your expectations for the season? What about the play of the other Pac-12 teams?
For me, I predicted 10 wins (Boobs, read this as 6) with losses to Stanford, Oregon and UCLA (with the requirement that we're competitive in each and no plungers). I figured the team would take a step-back in offensive personnel but take a step up in coaching, and for the most part, that's been true. I was a little concerned at first when Petersen said he was going to have to teach the fundamentals to the players all Spring and continue into the Fall, but I figured we'd be ready to compete with the Pac-12 teams once the preseason ended. We were never really impressive during the preseason, but I figured it was working out the kinks and whatnot. I thought we had a chance to beat Stanford after USC squeaked by them 13-10, so I was predicting a win this last weekend. That obviously didn't happen, and the game was incredibly frustrating... but it fits my preseason expectations so far. It's what I expected after we hired Petersen 9 months ago.
I am still expecting a 10-win season by the end of the year with a 6-3 conference record, being competitive in every game and a decent bowl game. The Stanford game was extremely disappointing, but it fits with how I predicted the season to unfold.
Anyone else feel the same way?

4 win season
The season is over -
My expectations have definitely changed. I expect to drink a lot more alcohol than I had originally anticipated.
-
No. Still expecting 10 wins. Had Stanford as a loss before the season.
-
I thought a 10 win season was very doable, but I had no idea Miley would be such a dumpster fire.
-
I think 10 wins is definitely in play. But we all know it's really more like 10* wins
But WGAF? -
Mine have changed. The over/under is now 5...conference wins.
I thought the OL and running game would be better. I thought Kasen Williams would be productive. Most everything else is as I expected.
I thought we would beat Stanford and UCLA at home. -
10 wins or gtfo. That includes, and has always included, the bowl game. I don't how some of you do math around here but bowl games count towards win totals. He can win 1 extra conference game or he can win the bowl game. If I wanted 6 conference wins I would have said 6 conference wins or gtfo.

10 wins, same as over
Remaining two losses come to Arizona and Oregon.
Anything less than 6-3 is a fucking joke with this roster -
How long are we going to pretend that Sark left this team stacked? Damone has debunked it.PostGameOrangeSlices said:10 wins, same as over

Do moral victorieies count?
