Would most consider 7 wins to be a successful season?

6 wins with this crew is a good year, 7+ WOW!!

Most Vegas betting places have our over/under at 5...
just winning 6 would be a nice season with a bowl game, 7 would be outstanding! If the odds are symmetrical, Vegas thinks we have just as much chance of winning only 4 compared to 6. Very sobering. Enjoy our wins this season when we do get them.

That would be par with the average VT wins since 2012. Hard to believe.
And ever harder to accept this reality.

Yes. But, depending on talent, coaching, execution, and "luck," hope better

You hope for better than 7 wins? Are you crazy?

i dont know how 6 wins can be considered unsuccessful unless
you checked out last year. Im not saying 6 wins is the ceiling; i think they could win 8-9; highly u likely but stuff happens like that all the time. But 6 wins would give pry a good trajectory and speak to program improvements

shhhhh.. @!!! we wil be the surprise team
No smack talk from Vt fans, just win each game one at a time, lay low and BOOM....

I'm more optimistic. Eight wins. ODU, Purdue, Rutgers, Marshall, Cuse, BC
UVA and either Wake or Pitt. A Bowl win will get us to 9-4.

Love the optimism, but that's 4-0 OOC, can't remember last time we did that

Would very much exceed expectations along with a decent bowl.

Seven wins and pry and staff are probably getting extensions
Don’t throw stuff at me. That’s how it works

Absolutely - that would mean VT wins at least 2 they are expected to lose
and win all games in which they are favored or toss-ups (like WFU and SYR). VT has NOT had a good track record of winning those games lately. 7 wins would be hugely successful and a sign that things are really back on track.

What about 4 or 5 wins
