Yes. For having a successful season compared to the last few? No. We're heading in the right direction either way. But **** it would be massive to make a bowl in Year 1. Just ******* huge Couldn’t say it better myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoolyBully Posted November 9, 2023 Group: Bull Backers Topic Count: 194 Content Count: 6,785 Reputation: 864 Days Won: 3 Joined: 08/01/2000 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I'd say it's a 'must win' if we're trying to accomplish something. For instance, being bowl eligible requires two more wins from the remaining three games, in which, we are favored in two. 'Must win' would mean doing what is expected. To lose the Temple game would be a failure. Do we recalibrate expectations? Wouldn't five wins, but missing being bowl eligible, also be a success? We'd have beaten Vegas pre-season expectations (O/U 4.5) and have more wins than in any of the previous four seasons? That's progress! So yes, if we believe that this team should be bowl eligible (six wins), then the Temple game is a must win, as the UTSA game is an expected loss. There's no wiggle room left in the season. Gotta win what you're expected to win - MUST WIN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be a loser, then transfer to ucf and embrace the culture of losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UF will probably miss out on a bowl game for just the 3rd time in the last 3 decades. FSU is most likely going to the playoffs, which takes place later than the mid-tier bowl games. If we can beat UTSA or Charlotte and make a bowl game, we might have a lot of “casual fans” watching us, who would usually be watching UF or FSU. Got to be good for the program and fanbase to have eyeballs on us like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
