One other psychological element that makes it tough - we have been the favored team for every game since 2009.

I agree. The one time we've played someone without that element was Miss State this year IMO. They came in #1 and I think our guys were charged up to beat the #1 team. We seemed to play pretty loose for the first quarter or two of that game.

In the end though, we're going to be carrying that albatross. That's why its easier to build a program than it is to sustain it.
