No, I missed it. I couldn’t believe your point was “if they turn out to be mediocre, our close loss looks worse”... but here we are.

Since you’re new to the sport, of course every week in CFB we learn a little bit more about how good everyone *actually* is. Some losses look better, some wins look worse.

My point is not “but no matter what we lost to an outstanding team, even if they suck”... my point was that we’ve been crappy so hard for so long, that *any* SEC team who were runner ups to a National Championship in the last 10 years is a mismatch with us. Further, I’d be damn proud if we went into Vandy or Mizzou and were down 2 with 5 min left to play. Or Miami this season. I want to win, but we have deficiencies that make our room for error pretty small.

I think we’re getting better.

Note: They haven’t had less that 8 wins in the last 8 years. Won a National Championship in 2007, was the runner up to Bama in 2011. They’ve been in the top 6 in the SEC 15 out of the last 16 seasons. They may fall below that this season, but it would be bucking history.
