There is no reason to think the Aggies would improve drastically after losing Johnny.

South Carolina wasn't near as good as people thought and that early win created unrealistic expectations.

We get 6 or 7 wins, no way 8.

7-5 Tops
6-6 Very realistic

7-5 at best... Auburn and LSU will smoke us

6 - 6 if we are lucky.

7-5 is probable, with a win over ULM and either LSU or Missouri. But my point is that no one should have expected better than 8-4 from this team.

You don't think 8-5 is possible?

Exactly. The zoo was over psyched and lied to after the sc game. Besides blowout shutout, this is what any sane person would expect this team to be.

So unbelievably retarded. We won't need to be lucky to beat ULM.

anything is possible, but not probable. Not trying to be Mr. Negative, just realistic.

We have a 9-3 roster. The rest is in the details.

For those saying 8-4...

Do you really think we beat LSU this year? Did you not watch the Kentucky game?

At this point, beating Mizzou is a stretch, much less LSU.

6-6 is pretty much guaranteed.
7-5 is possible.
8-4 is HIGHLY unlikely.

Never forget that 4 of the wins are "free". Normally it would only be 3.

It's less us getting to 8-4 then us being an 8-4 team. If we go 7-5 and win the bowl game, we only slightly underachieved. We aren't a 10-2/11-1 team we shouldn't be incredibly disappointed at our w-l this year

Than how to you explain 7/5 at best?

Even with 8-4, the way they played the last few weeks is very alarming. This team is headed the wrong direction at this point. No excuse for the complete disaster against Bama.

I don't know exactly what you mean. I think 8-4 is still reasonably plausible and that would be a successful rebuilding year imo. 7-5 with a bowl win would be an average rebuilding year

If we finish 8-4 that means we got stronger when faced with adversity and finished the season 3-1

Wow. This team could go down as "The Great Pretender" if they don't turn it around fast.

Gary Pinkel's Mizzou squads have beaten us on a regular basis (4 out of the last 5). Why does everyone seem to chalk that a "W"???

My gut feeling says there's no way we don't end up 6-6. The kind of beating we took the last 3 consecutive weeks would absolutely demoralize any team.

Would've been totally happy with 6-6 had we been semi competitive in the first half of every game. 1 blow out where everything goes wrong and the wheels fall out is acceptable. But 3 straight embarrassments, 1 of which was on our home field with a record crowd is simply NOT acceptable.

I don't usually bet on Aggie games, but I'd be willing to take the over on 6.5 wins. You interested?

The team that I watched on Saturday wouldn't beat ULM.

8-4 sounds pretty damn good now.

Not sure we'll get there though.

This is the problem with 7-5. Yes it's better than a losing season but is it really a winning season? All 7 "wins" will have been against has-beens or never-will-be teams.

7-5 is nothing to be happy about. If anything all it says is that we're no better off than we were before we moved to the SEC except that we're mediocre in a different conference.

The op is right but misses the point. our recoded doesn't really matter, progress and adjustments do. If we are record wise , 7-5 but showing improvement by players and coaches that is one thing. but now we face that showing regression by players and amazing stubbornness by the coaches, were do we go from there? That is why everyone is justifiably in meltdown mode.

Sorry, I have given up on 8-4. it sucks that this isn't the NFL and there is no advantage to tanking the rest of the year, but reality is the issues seem to be much deeper than X's and O's from the outside. The bye week has come at a perfect time. 7-5 + a bowl win is max potential for this team.

We're not playing the last 4-5 Pinkel teams. We're playing the one that lost to Indiana and got blown out at home 34-0 against Georgia.

You people are so over the top. We hit a severe road block. We're playing very poorly right now. But the bedwetting on this board is an embarrassment.

So it is bedwetting to think we won't beat Mizzou or LSU this year? We are 1-6 against those teams since 2010.

I stated my opinion. No bedwetting. Tone it down chief.
