re: A 10-win season at your school is _____?

10 win seasons aren't bad, but nowadays, it doesn't get you much but a mid-tier bowl, unless you are a conference champion and get a New Years Six bid.

If you are a power program with rich tradition, but have been lackluster for several years, 10 wins is acceptable and a step in the right direction if it gets you more in seasons to come.

10 win seasons in the 80s and 90s were huge as the average season length was 12 games, sometimes 13.

10 win seasons today are still nice, but the standard for programs who have established a consistent winning tradition should be 11 wins.

I think 10 wins should happen before bowls, for those who are immune to consistently winning.

The last 10 win team to win a national championship was USC in 1974 (10-1-1).

The last 11 win team to win a national championship was 1990: Colorado (11-1-1) and Ga. Tech (11-0-1)

From now on, national championship teams will be no less than 12 wins.
