What would be a bad season in your eyes?

SECCG or bust

Basically. At this point, it's time to go to Atlanta again. Should have been back already, it's overdue.

I don't know if I would call it a "bad" season if we go 11-2 again, but it sure would be disappointing.

8-4, maybe 9-3 depending on who we lose to

Any combination of two or more of the following would make for a bad/disappointing season IMO:

-Loss to Clemson
-Loss to Georgia
-More than three regular season losses
-Losing or missing a bowl
-Spurrier Retiring

Would some go as far to say its SECCG or bust?

I would say yes, but only if we have an Auburn 2011 or Tennessee 2013 type loss. If we just get flat out beat by good teams & not make it then I won't have that huge of an issue with it.

This is how I'm thinking. We have won 11 games for 3 straight years with no SECCG appearance. While I have enjoyed every minute of the last 3 years, something has definitely been missing. If only we beat Tennessee last year, we could have found ourselves in a similar position as Auburn.

With the way our offense stacks up this year, and the fact that we will be losing almost all of them after this year, I think now is our time to strike.

As much as I hate to admit that we will regress after all the recent success we are having, losing 3 conference games this season is definitely realistic. I've had this sick feeling in my stomach that this season that this will be a rebuilding year considering what we have to replace talentwise. Anything less than an 11-2 season will be considered a step back in most people's eyes but I feel that going 9-3 (5-3 conference) with another SEC East title and playing either Alabama or Auburn in the title game is worth an extra loss in my book. Unlike in 2010 we will be ready for a close game to decide which SEC team will represent us in the first ever playoffs (even though the media would have a field day with a 3 loss SEC Champ in the playoffs). If this scenario happens I won't consider it a disappointment but a step in the right direction. So in conclusion anything less than an SEC Champ will be considered a disappointment in my eyes.
