gtcu17, is your overall point that we won't have a successful season unless we go 12-2, because losing any of the remaining games would have some big negatives come with it? If i'm putting words in your mouth, sorry, but I disagree. Losing to VT but going 10-3 with a win over uga and a non-bcs bowl win would be an awesome season and set us up nicely with a high ranking for next year. Going 11-3 with a loss in the Orange would still be an great year. I think any time you make a BCS bowl its a good season (not to mention beating uga). I refuse to consider a scenario where we don't beat uga, because it wont happen.
Your post was exactly what I was asking for and saying. Basically, considering that a loss to any of our remaining opponents would be a "big loss," I was asking if anyone would consider the season be a bust if this team doesn't go 12-2? I don't think it would be at all, and that it would be unfair to say it's gotta be 12-2 if it's going to be successful. I'm perfectly content with dropping VT and winning out, as well as coming up short in the ACC-CG and getting into a good bowl and getting a W there, but I know that there is going to be someone who is looking at the negatives like "we didn't beat Georgia/VT/Clemson/Bowl opponent" and think it was a bad season.
Every week seems winnable, so I'm trying to keep it small-scale. We should beat everyone left, and there's nobody that we're going to be over-matched with, aside from maybe Oregon in the Orange Bowl if we get to 11-2.
I thought this team would get 8 or 9 wins, and they're well on their way to achieving that. I'm content with that, and would consider a 10-win season a great season... as long as two of the remaining wins are against UGA and a bowl
