I expect the program to make bowl games at least 80% of the time and believe this is a minimum requirement to be considered a stable P5 program. I would be fine with mediocrity most of the time as long as we could expect a good year (read: top 3 in the ACC) mixed in a couple times a decade and not get blown out so frequently by the good teams. I really don’t think this is asking for much and is not unrealistic for SU.

Even with this realistic expectation, the program continues to fall quite short. If the floor of the program can’t be raised immediately, as in starting this season, then it’s time to restart the rebuild.

Regarding this season specifically, this can end up being a weird year, to no fault of SU due to the schedule, where the season could end with a record of 8-4 or even 9-3 and not have a single good win. This would be due to all the wins being against bad teams, while all the losses would be blow outs to good teams. Even with that considered, I would be happy with the result and chalk it up to one of those “good” seasons. With this schedule I would consider anything less than 7-5 a disappointment.
