[QUOTE="Techster, post: 25691, member: 360"] If you think the points I made in my OP about this topic isn't objective but rather pessimistic, then a case can be made that your 5 points (well, point #5 is fairly reasonable) is overly optimistic. Remember this: We went 6-7 in 2010. That season CPJ made a statement that the 2010 was probably his best overall team. Didn't work out for us, though Nesbitt getting hurt had a lot to do with it (don't mention Kansas...) My point is, we're not getting an influx of Day 1 talent, we lose a bunch of high impact guys on defense, we're depending on basically a first year starter at QB, and our OL is also dependant on guys that were either subpar in 2013 or didn't play at all (due to injury or redshirting). Our current recruiting class may be one of CPJ's better ones (or so people keep saying), but to say they will be huge contributors to the 2014 season is REALLY optimistic. Saying we're closer to 4-5 wins doesn't mean I'm saying we will win 4-5 games, I'm just saying that scenario is more likely than us winning 9+ games...which is what Auburn and Duke did. More than likely, we'll be in the 6-8 range, with 7 the most likely outcome given the past 4 years. If you call that pessimism, fine. Like I said, I hope I'm very wrong. [/QUOTE]
