My answer is probably 9+ but that wasn't an option.... I didn't want to get attached to 8.
Roll *Damn Tide
I'm to the point where I just can't argue anymore about Smith and Petersen. He'll either fire Smith this offseason, do an offensive overhaul and keep Smith, or stay the same. Either way, he needs to win 9+ for me next year and compete for the North late into the season. I think they can win the north next year, it's not out of the question for me. Either way, it will be interesting, or not.

Either way, it will be interesting, or not. Pretty much this ...But with a weak non-conference schedule that should ensure 3-0, I'd be mildly disappointed with a 6-3 conference record. I'd put the o/u at 9.5 wins for next year and then should we end at 9 wins look back on how we got there. Barring a massive run of injuries, etc. (which you could argue is on Petersen anyway from a depth perspective), 8 or less would be a significant disappointment.
