Guess there's more than 4-5...
The "over/unders" are coming in at 7.5. Right between 7 and 8 wins. 2 out of 3 voters here are saying the same thing.
Seems pretty reasonable doesn't it?
If there was a "6 - 7" choice I am guessing more than 50% of the voters would have gone that way. I doubt many GopherHolers think the Gophers will win 8 games.

Please don't use this argument.yes, it does.
You know what's not reasonable? The fact that 23% of GHers expect us to win 9+ regular season games, which has happened once since 1905. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Minnesota_Golden_Gophers_football_seasons

It's about the same as those who expect us to win 6 or less.
They won 5 games two years ago.
They won 3 games 6 years ago.
They won 9 games last year.
They won 10 games 14 years ago.
None including your post matter this year.
What does matter is that those 4-5 folks must have voted many times in this poll as well as in the helmet poll. Don't they have anything better to do?

Yeah I was clearly talking about people who think the Gophers will win 8 games this year.
You're not making much sense with this post, nor were you with the they won 5 games two years ago post.
They better win at least 8.
I was just making the point based on football history they are just as likely to win 9 games as they are 6.
You already posted this comment.
Agree with the sentiment, but think they're as likely to win 6 as win 8.5. Looks almost the same, but to me one of the things that we can't control or know at this point is who the bowl opponent might be for an 8 regular season win Gophers team.I was just making the point based on football history they are just as likely to win 9 games as they are 6.
Please don't use this argument.
From 1906 to 1930 they played less than 9 games in a season
From 1932 to 1941 only 8 games in a season.
1942 to 1970: 9 or 10 games
1971 to 2001: 11 games
2002 to Present: 12 games
So for 35 years of your argument it wasn't even possible to win 9 games. For an additional 28 years or so, it would've been an undefeated or 1 loss season. 9 wins today does not mean as much as 9 wins in 1905.
Agreed, so let's use winning percentage. 9-3 is 75%.
We have won 75% or more of our regular season games once since 1968. In 1967 we went 8-2. So in the last 50 years, we've had a .750 or better regular season winning percentage 2 times out of 50. Yet 23% of GHers are pretty certain it's going to happen this year.
