Interested to see how we all measure quality wins and quality seasons? Obviously a ten win season would meet most peoples expectations but what if a team reaches 8 wins? If you only reach 8 wins is your season a failure if you lose a bowl, is 7 wins a success with a bowl win? Again, it is obvious that we all want a conference championship every year, but only select few programs in the country consistently do that ( Alabama doesn't even win their conf every year), so what makes a quality year?
What about quality wins? Is it beating a team with a winning record? Is it beating a rival?
To me a quality season is beating rivals and getting at least 8 wins. However beating a rival if the game doesn't mean anything probably isn't a quality win. A great season would be a conference championship. A quality win would be beating a winning team, and a higher than quality win would be beating an 8 win team. I'm not sure if beating a bcs team counts as a quality win if that team is awful. To me that is just stating that bcs teams are better and seems small time. I also feel that bowl wins should probably fall somewhere in the quality win category.
For a comparison of coaches doc has 4 quality wins including a bowl win. Joe Glenn had 4 quality wins including a bowl win ( I could debate the va games as better than quality). Joe tiller had two quality wins. However, Tiller had two exceptional ( better than quality) seasons in which he had 10 wins or won a conf. Championship. Also, several of his wins held more significance because of competing for a championship.
The argument could be made that joe Glenn's win over byu and csu his first year were quality wins as well, because of the state of the football program.
What do you guys think?
