Just how impressive were Arkansas and Tennessee's respective 7-6 seasons?

We've all seen the Hogs and VOLS shite all over tRant going after barely reaching .500 last season. Nonetheless, their two teams combined to go 14-12 (5-11) in 2014 and Arkansas finished last in the SEC West . . . again.

While I'm sure this thread will be met with typical responses of "30-0," "TCU just scored again," "44-20-1," "V, B," etc., I decided to examine just how historically significant these two equally shitty seasons were in terms of the pantheon of SEC history, post-2000.

Maybe our friends in Fayetteville and Knoxville will read this thread and have an epiphany of sorts? Maybe they'll realize that seven wins is below average in the SEC? Naa, who am I kidding; that would require rational thought, a scarce resource in NWA and East Tennessee.

Percentage of SEC teams that finished with at least 7 wins, since 2000
2014 - 86%, 12/14 teams
2013 - 71%, 10/14 teams
2012 - 64%, 9/14 teams
2011 - 67%, 8/12 teams
2010 - 58%, 7/12 teams
2009 - 83%, 10/12 teams
2008 - 67%, 8/12 teams
2007 - 75%, 9/12 teams
2006 - 67%, 8/12 teams
2005 - 50%, 6/12 teams
2004 - 42%, 5/12 teams
2003 - 58%, 7/12 teams
2002 - 75%, 9/12 teams
2001 - 75%, 9/12 teams
2000 - 67%, 8/12 teams
Totals - 67.2%, 125/186 teams

Numbers don't lie, folks. For the mounds and mounds of shitty trolling the Hogs and VOLS have spewed over SEC message boards post-bowl season, they're merely celebrating being no better than two-thirds of every single SEC team to play football in the past fifteen seasons.

tl;dr version: Arkansas and Tennessee are shitting their pants after going 7-6 in 2014. Boy, how the mighty have fallen. You're literally elated for being no better than two thirds of every SEC team to grace the field in the past 15 seasons. As such, take a break and know your place.

Thank God your post ignores the context surrounding recruiting, coaching backgrounds, and team momentum. Context is lame and every argument that uses it is also lame.

The arkie "troll patrol", will not like your fact based comments ! I actually think, they now only care about their moronic trolling/flaming and delusions of grandeur..lol There have just been too many seasons of failure for them recognize their own "station" as a second tier program.....track and bass fishing not-withstanding !

The only thing worse than those 2 schools pimping a 7 win season is that a fan from an even shittier program posted this thread

You need to randomly capitalize some words in that rant to let us know how you really feel. Cause at this point I don't think you hate me.

Arkansas and UT is building after two coaches run the programs in the ditch. We are both out of the ditch now and will be much more difficult to beat.

Impressive to watch last year? Maybe,to both fan bases. Because we know how far we had come to compete. Both teams did compete and win late games against good teams. Both teams will be even better next year under steady coaching staffs. I like both teams chances to cause problems in there divisions. WPS
