I was expecting a record of 9-2 or 8-3. The Ole Piss loss and the UCLA loss are the two big surprises for me.
A win in the bowl game would be big, but a loss would not make it a long off season in my opinion. The only thing now that would make it a long off season is either CDF leaving, or major sanctions from the NCAA. A bowl game loss would soon be forgotten. These last three wins have left us all feeling much better headed into off season. RTR!
