Should 10 wins be considered the 'floor' for a top 25 team now?

[Irishblooded]

As you look at teams around the country, and their schedules. On the average top 25 should double digit regular seasons wins (not including CC or bowl) be considered the floor for success?

I still lean more towards 9 wins.

Yeah kinda. I used to be proud of Bama’s 10 win season record - which I still am- but it doesn’t convey the same meaning of annual success it once did.

I don't think so, I agree with 9 wins. We're talking top 25, not top 15 or so. There are plenty of 9 win teams at the end of the season that are better and would kick the crap out of plenty of 10 win teams.......

for me it depends on the body of work.

a team that has 5 close losses to Top 10 teams is more attractive than a team that beat the hell out of 10 cupcakes.

So you are a fan of Nebraska last year?

@pooods and his mom are correct .... just my unbiased opinion as a Husker...

I don't know about rankings, but I can remember a time when I just hoped for 6 wins to keep our consecutive bowl streak going,, of course mike Shula fucked that up..
there used to be only 11 or 12 games in a season,, when Bama won in 92, we were 13-0, first team to ever do that.. Now there's like 15 games,, so 10 wins is like a 4 loss season.
