re: What is the max # of losses you can accept this year & still feel successful???

Would like to be stereotypical and say 1 as long as a national championship like last year or 2 as long as SEC championship like year before, but for Bama this year I don't think it's that simple.

New QB concerns me more this year than most. It depends on who wins that job. If it is one of the FR, then 3 loses could still be considered "successful". If it is Bateman who wins the job, then he should be mature enough to limit mistakes, take what the D gives, and anything should of SEC title would disappoint.

Really depends on who the losses are against for me.

If we go 8-4 with losses to FSU, Bama, UGA, and LSU then I'll think we beat all the teams we should have beat.

If we go 8-4 with losses to Arkansas, Auburn, TAMU, and State then we totally screwed the pouch. (Don't get any ideas Aggies)

To answer your question, 4 is the maximum number of losses I will consider acceptable, contingent on the opponents.

Lsu the answer is 5. Lsu winning 8 games a year for the entire 21st century would be the greatest accomplishment in team sport history. 8-5 is the floor for lsu.

If we lose 5 games with a healthy Fournette , Miles should never coach a football game again.

I don't really have a set number. Depends on the QB and injury situation.

I could accept a situation where Eason starts from game 1 and UGA ends up 7-5.

I am going to say 3 losses for Auburn will be successful if they are not LSU, UGA, UA. I can live with 4 losses, but would not consider it a success. More losses than that is going to be hard to swallow.

2. I've come to the realization that LSU is guaranteed at least two per season. agree as long as one of them isnt Bama
