Why did you expect a win?
I expect to win every game. Maybe it's the former athlete in me, but I never expect to lose. I'm just not wired that way. I wouldn't attend/watch games if I thought Arkansas wasn't going to win. With that said, I'm not mad about the loss.

Same, except Kentucky.

RPIForecast gave us a 22% chance to win at UGA and we were dogs as well.
So now you expect to win road games when we aren't favored because of that...

I'm the biggest sunshine pumper in the state and even I don't expect to win every game. And I wouldn't consider myself a pragmatist either.

I don't expect to go undefeated for a season, but going into every game I expect to win. Anything else is a defeatist attitude and like I said above, I'm not wired that way.
Did you play sports? Did you ever go onto the field/court expecting to lose?

Makes about as much sense as you expecting to lose them because of that.
RPIForecast is a decent site, but my god have people started using it for everything on the Rant. It's about as accurate as a decent bookie, nothing more nothing less. People really need to stop throwing it around all the time like it's really anything of value. Especially for individual games, not what the site is for.

Quiz bowl. JV captain in junior high and varsity captain in high school. First team all-conference my senior year.

Only when we played Benton. They were a bunch of cheaters though.

Expecting a loss when Vegas has us as 7 point underdogs actually makes a lot more sense.

And Vegas is at best a 50/50 guess. We were +5 at UGA.

Yes, and pretty frequently.
