re: What would be a bad season in your eyes?

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.
