2000 (@OSU, A&M, @Baylor): 9-3
Win diff: +5 wins

2003 (OU, Texas, @Tech): 2-10
2004 (@OSU, A&M, @Baylor): 7-5
Win diff: +5 wins

2007 (OU, Texas, @Tech): 3-9
2008 (@OSU, A&M, @Baylor): ?-?
Win diff: +? wins

Following this pattern, 8-5 with a bowl win would be great. I really believe the key is 4-0 start. A 5-0 start would get us ranked nationally. Really successful to me is 4-0 non-conf. and beating Neb, KSU (my brother is a KSU alum.), Bal, Ta&m. I think we need to beat a Texas school for recruiting reasons. Anything more is icing on the success cake.
