Good thread, hopefully no one starts flaming to hard

For me it has to be a Big 10 championship. Although, I would be okay with an at large BCS game if we were to win it. But idk if the Big 10 will get two BCS games.

I don't know if I can put a number on it this year.
I am going to judge this year on developement of young talent. This year is a year, more than most, where coaching will be at a premium.
1. I will look for growth in the front side of the defense.
2. I will look for growth from Taylor in his ability to read coverages and dissect defenses.
3. I will look for improved play from the defensive backs when the ball is in the air.

These three things all need improvement and are the things holding us back from competing at a higher level. These things, if improved, allow us to be in every game and eliminate blow out tht we have experienced over the last 2 years. I will judge this year on coaching and the staffs ability to get these kids to the next level. I'm not sure we win the B1G, even with improvememt in each of these areas. But I know that these are the steps needed to grow as a team and consistsntly compete with the best teams in the nation.

That being said, anything less than 10 wins is a major disappointment.

Senior QB and the weapons we have join offense, anything less than breaking our 13 year conference championship streak is going to be disappointing to me. The parts and pieces are there, it's time to clear this 10 win hump.

I am still steadfast that Nebraska is about winning championships. No B1G championship equals a so-so year.

Exactly right!

Conference Championship or bust. Not going to an away game this year, saving my money for Indy and the partying after the victory.

Put me in the 11 win/B1GCC group. Too many things going for us this season not to breakout this season. It's time to actually win something.

11 Wins min. in Reg. Season + CCG win.

Anything else is just a failure,

Given the schedule and offensive talent returning, those things considered nothing short of a B1G title game birth and a BCS atlarge IMO.

11 wins minimum, 12 is the bar, 13 is progress in my eyes.

^^^ This ^^^

Expect 11 wins, no blowout losses, and a close loss in the B1G CCG.

Winning a BCS bowl game would be a great season.

It is a failure.

I would rather go 10-2 and win the Big ten, than 12-0 and win Nothing.
