Poll.

I'm expecting a National Title and a B1G title.

Thoughts?

I'd like a B1G title, but expect? I just don't know yet

National title in 2nd year. B1G title in his first year and many more after that.

8-4 or 9-3

I'll say 10-2 and a bcs bowl

7-5 or 8-4.

I'm actually surprised that bust was an option haha.

This is a thread about Ohio State. If it was about Notre Dame, the options would be: 1) bowl loss 2) decline bowl game 3) 3-9 with a close loss to USC(10 year coaching extension)

I'll go with 10 wins, a Big Ten title and a BCS berth. If he falls a bit short of that I won't be too bummed, so long as I'm seeing progress in Miller and the team overall. I do expect a win over TTUN, however, regardless of the overall record.

And if this were an SEC thread, one option would be "finish 2nd in your DIVISION, and win the national championship game"

Miami (Ohio) W

Central Florida W


California W

UAB W

@Michigan State. ?
(Sparty will be tough away, but thankfully Cousins is gone)

Nebraska ?
(gotta win the home games)

@Indiana W

Purdue W

@Penn State W
(at Penn State is tough, but I think it should be a win with all the turmoil going on there)

Illinois W

@Wisconsin ?
(maybe this should be a loss, but I'm being optimistic and Wisky will be breaking in a new QB)

Michigan ?
(again, gotta win the home games. I will be interested to see how much better UM's D can get with another year under a coach that plays D, and how much will Miller improve his sophomore year)

If we can get 2/4 of the ?'s and win the rest I will be happy with his first year. (new system or not)

Sorry, but if we don't go undefeated I will be pissed.

It may have been unrealistic, but I felt that way going into every season for the last 8 years (this past season excluded)

Me too. This year we got to feel what Notre Dame fans feel every year, minus the unrealistic expectations and the negligent death of anyone in our football program.

BCS bowl W and I'll be happy.

I like our chances in the big next year. Meyers second year were gonna be stacked though. Let's just hope there's no bowl ban or if there is one it's only 1 year.

My sources have confirmed there will be no bowl ban. Book it!

LJ's sources are better.

BCS Championship or Bust. Who hopes to be anything but #1?

I wasn't aware hopes and expectations were the same thing.

With that schedule, my expectations are 10-2 at worst and a shot at a BCS bowl.

I expect OSU to win every single game they go into. I've never said to a friend "I don't see us winning this game" before kickoff.

So my hopes and expectations are that we win a national championship every single year.

I love the 7-5, 8-4 predictions, great for the lulz. Cripe we went 6-6 with Fricken Fickell, and a shitstorm swirling over the program all season.

I really don't know what to expect over 9 wins, I hope, but a lot depends on how well the current players adapt to the new system.

I think it'll take a year to rebuild the program to a top 10 finish....but good news already...some have already decommitted elsewhere and have chosen the Bucks.

I think we will battle for a Big Ten title but believe we lose 1 or 2 games and get back to a BCS Bowl.
