Sep 8, Sep 15, Sep 22, Sep 29, Oct 11, I believe that is a mark that ASU fans should have their eye on. After this start, or would seem disappointing. Those games will determine where ASU sits in the Pac not only this year, but in future years. Cody Ulm: I think it's a bit odd that we're changing our goals as soon as they're close to being met.

Not to say that I'm already content with what we've done but I feel that it's important to temper expectations. As Nick and others pointed out, our schedule has been quite favorable. I'm proud of this team for taking care of business up until this point but we will find out how talented this team truly is over the final seven games. So if we only pull out those two, that puts us at by my math.

The Pac is a competitive, balanced conference that's currently wide open which has a lot of ASU fans believing they have a chance to steal it. But what people have to remember is that talent-wise, this team was projected as middle of the pack I said We must be careful not to get overboard, especially when you consider that this team is less stacked than the squad who fell flat on their face in the second half.

I would prefer with a win in Tucson or by stealing one against one of the ranked teams but I won't call this season a failure if they come up short of that while still giving those teams a run for their money. More than anything, I think this season is about the mindset this team features; Are they showing that they can dance with the big boys and are confident about that fact? I think Todd Graham and company has this team overachieving right now and the rest of the conference should take notice.

As long as he can keep that up and continue to have their opponents thinking "oh snap, we have to play the Sun Devils this week" for the rest of the season, that should be considered a success regardless or their final record. Brad Denny: No way in hell. This fantastic start, as Cory said earlier, has thrown every preseason expectation out of the window, including my record prediction. Todd Graham has the boys much further along than anyone expected. Sure, the difficulty significantly ramps up after Colorado, but the team will be that much more prepared and immersed in the culture and systems as well.

Bowl eligibility was once the goal, but now seven wins has to be the lower regions of the team's target. Simply scrapping together another Maaco Bowl appearance would mean that yet another late-season collapse, and that would be far more damaging to the program than not having the season I initially envisioned.

A win against Navy would be the Sun Devils' first bowl game victory since they won the Insight Bowl in Saturday's game, which is scheduled to kick off at 4 p. While ASU features a well-balanced offense, Navy is primarily a running team. Henry , B. Sanders , R. Williams , T. Dorsett , T. All-Americans: A. Cooper , J.
