What is the minimum Oregon has to do for you to consider the season a success?

I ask this question now because I assume most of us would have been disappointed with the season had the Ducks not made the playoffs. Now that they have, I'll bet there's a little more diversity of thought about how to define a successful season.

Winning one playoff game isn't enough for me. I view the game against JMU as a "non-conference warm-up game". If this game is anything less than a warm-up game (i.e., close game), I have far bigger concerns.

Winning two playoff games is my minimum requirement to consider the year a success. The Ducks can't go out against a BIG 12 team; can't happen.

The Ducks need to make it to the Semi-Final game . . . otherwise I'll be a Negative Nancy.

How can making the CFP not be termed a successful season? I certainly consider this team and season a success.

Now a second season begins of post season playoff games. The only success in post season is to win the title. I will term two wins as “a good showing” in the playoffs. Beyond that a “final four finish, runner-up, or a national championship winner”.

It is what it is, and is pretty straight forward.

Even though I am a rabid fan who wants very much for OBD to become the national champions, for me, a successful season is graduating young men of character. I am happy for the program if that happens.
