re: Top 10 most underachieving SEC teams this century (AL.com)

Yeah 2013 is a head scratcher.

I also kinda take umbrage with the whole "omg uga was so underachiving in 2008" thing. The only reason anyone thinks that is becuase the media put us at #1. We didn't do that or ask for that, so we're going to be punished by that same media for their frick up?

That team had some elite skill pieces on offense but had major quesitons on defense, and a DC that was generally underwhelming his entire tenure. And the cherry on top is that one of hte lynchpins of the entire team, our left tackle who would probably be a multi-year NFL all pro at the position, was lost for the year in August. Then on top of ALL THAT, who were our losses to? A juggernaut UF that won the national title, a bama team that started the season 12-0 and played for the conference title, and a decent tech team wiht a newfangled offense. Yet we still won 10 games and finished ranked in the top 10.
