re: Teams we have lost to...

My question is why have these teams improved so immensely, yet we haven't? And we never do. Having losses to quality teams is good and all, but none of them except Alabama were quality teams last year. They were about on par with us, yet they now look competent while we look even worse. Is that not just as damning?

TCU was 6–7 and we beat them at their place. Now they're 7–0. and positively trounced us.
South Carolina was 6–7 and worse than us. Now they're 5–2 and beat us by four touchdowns.
Texas A&M was 8–5 with a win over us. Now they're 5–2.
Alabama is/was Alabama.

And here we are at 2–4, with three blowout losses and a loss to a team that's never much (if any) better than us, yet we have an annual chokejob against them. All of the teams ahead of us have looked beatable at some point, but have also shown that they can compete at a vicious level, with the exception of Missouri and obviously Coastal Carolina. We've only looked like a free win since TCU.

The mental gymnastics don't make a difference anymore, and haven't since Missouri. fricking win the games against the winnable teams. Improve at the same pace as the teams who have a similar record and recruit at a similar caliber. I'd say Jen needs to pull her dildo out of Bert's arse and slap him in the face with it as a wake up call, but it's well beyond making a difference at this point.
