My expectations for next year are a ten win season and to be competitive in the games we lose. Anything else is just gravy.

Those are LSU/Georgia level expectations. The team can't expect to win the national championship every season, but there's still much room for improvement and Alabama could have done better the past few seasons with better playcalling and execution. I'm grateful for what Saban has brought Alabama fans since 2008, but I won't be completely content.

Meh. There isn't really anything that we can control anyway. Why not adjust our expectations according to the team instead of putting up the championship or bust expectation to every team?

Sure, we could have made the title this year, but we just weren't as good as we thought we were. We got caught up in some of the dominating performances that we forgot what this team was really capable of. It happens.

Tell me if you thought after the WVU game that we would win tSECCG.
Did you think we would beat Auburn and LSU after losing in Oxford?
Was the team that escaped Arky by one point really going to hoist the trophy at the end of the year?
Was the team that gave up a billion yards to Auburn really going to stop Oregon?

Speaking of next year, how about the team that returns just two starters from offense? Does that sound like a national championship caliber team?
