Based on what? They have a charismatic HC, an offense that has seen OC change and yet continued to succeed, were led by an incredible QB and now are not really struggling in his absence, one of the best DCs in college football, have recruited elite talent along the defensive line... evidenced by the guys they continue to put into the league. Nothing about what they're doing is "not earned/deserved".

Prior to last year, I would have said that they were playing in a light conference overall, with it essentially coming down to FSU/CU for the ACC, but that wasn't the case last season for sure. Particularly difficult to point to with how down the SEC is currently. Many people are blowing it out of proportion a bit, but the reality is the middle teams have dropped out. Instead of 1-2 good teams, 2-3 additional decent teams. Right now we have Bama + 2 and then a metric shite ton of garbage.

They beat Bama last season and they took them to the wire the year before... that's significantly more than most teams can say.

Yeah, its pretty hard to hate on Daboo, though I still give it maximum effort

He appears to be a model CEO head coach and clearly the players love him. All great news for SEC West teams here in a few yrs
