I think I can speak for most all of the teams represented on this board when I say it was 1939.

There are only a few that have a real shot. Sorry lsu fans but you solidly join us in the have no shot category this year. I think the Aggies are going to finish ahead of LSU this year

In 2008 when I saw Tim Tebow cry the tears of a champion. I knew no one had a shot

His tear ducts were the most impressive aspect of that specimen.

The last two seasons were so awful that I doubted my team would go to a bowl.

Honestly haven't felt like we had a chance at the beginning of the season since 2010.

The Tide has a good chance every year to be in the playoffs.But sometimes we beat ourselves, like we did twice last year.

So you knew the reigning national champs were out of contention because the coach who led them to the national championship the previous year was still the coach?

Did you look at the roster turnover? Yes. I absolutely could read the writing on the wall.

LSU - 1999. Dinardo was a lame duck.

1997-2008

2008 surprised greatly. 1999/2005 were fun and 2002 was also a good year minus the probation.
