Where do you think your team fits? How did they do vs your expectations at the beginning of the season?
oa=overachieved - you had a promising season
ua=underachieved - you likely had a decent season but don't believe it
A Teams
Georgia 11-2 (even)
Texas 11-2 (even, maybe ua)
Tennessee 10-2 (oa)
B Teams
Bama 9-3 (ua, though maybe even) ... this is what getting off heroin probably feels like
South Carolina 9-3 (oa+)
Ole Miss 9-3 (even, maybe ua, maybe oa)
C
A&M 8-4 (even) if anyone should complain about OOC scheduling ...
LSU 8-4 (ua? not sure)
Mizzou 9-3 (even, maybe ua)
Florida 7-5 (oa) Billy bought himself 2 more years at least
D
Arkansas (even) ... Petrino takeover soon?
Vandy (oa+)
Oklahoma (ua) ... must and will eventually improve
F
Auburn (somewhere between D & F) ... need Petrino more than Arkansas does
Kentucky (ua)
State (even)

Unfortunately, Deboers success hinged on his QB this season. The losses weren't all Milroe's fault, but he was the main contributor. Pick6 vs Vandy, nearly two Pick6 vs OU, totally ineffective against UT.
Deboer said in an interview, he told the offense this isn't the style of offense he wants to run & it would change next year. Weird uneven first year, but I think he did an ok job. We had a chance to make the playoffs & that's what most expected.

LSU is about where I thought we would be after changing both OC and DC and losing a Heisman QB, not to mention a slew of injuries. even
I agree with most of your list, but if you ask OU fans they might give themselves an F

This may be the biggest surprise this season. I think a lot of folks had Kentucky winning 8+ games.

Depending on which Arkansas team showed up for that particularly play... we were either a high B or very low F. At least Chad's teams consistently sucked.
The only thing the Razorbacks were consistent at this season was being inconsistent.

No.
Not an overachievement and will be fired if he goes 7-5 again.

People act like this is gaypier’s first season at UF
It’s not
It’s his 3rd
7-5 in someone’s 3rd season isn’t considered overachieving anywhere but Vandy

LSU 8-4 (ua? not sure)
I expected better but TBH this is what a lot of media and posters outside of LSU fans predicted for us. 9-3 and 8-4 were the popular preseason guesses.

Ole Miss definitely underachieved.
A&M always underachieves so maybe because of that it’s actually even?
LSU massively underachieved. I love how the narrative changes around here.
Oklahoma is in the worst stretch since immediately before Stoops took over. I promise they view this season as an F-.

Milroe is a turd that Saban laid and left behind. Saban should have listened to people who actually knew something about offense and Bama probably wouldn't hav had to go through this period. But Saban did the same thing during the Sims era. He just didn't know offense well.

There are high schoolers who have never seen a bad Alabama football team
I miss the 2004 season where I saw a Alabama game with a QB who threw for only 60 yards and had a QBR of 6.0

Are you sure?
Lost the whole offense (JD5) and OC
Did not upgrade personnel on defense but added a better DC to an all time historically bad defense.
Started a 1st yr starter at QB with a 1st yr OC
I don’t know what people were smoking but LSU finished where they should have.

Mizzou fans all offseason: “LSU sucks. 6-6 incoming. Laugh out loud!”
Mizzou fans in December: “LSU 8-4? Underachievers!”
Absolutely most retarded fans on this board.

Yeah Oklahoma is an F. Even with the ridiculous tough schedule nobody saw their top 5 WR's out for the year and 4 O lineman plus breaking in 2 freshman QB's. Waste of a great defense this year.

What?! It was the opposite. It was LSU fans laughing and even cursing when LSU hired Mizzou DC and then the DL coach. Then say Mizzou will be lucky to win 8 or maybe even 7 games. I can't believe LSU fans are lying big time.

Lane Kiffin had everything lined up to earn a spot in the SEC CG and a playoff slot.
And if they had played Texas, I'm of the opinion that they would have won the SEC CG.
But it is what it is.....

Hmmmm....
If Mizzou finishes 9-3 and is given a "C" grade by SEC fans...well, that's a testament as to how high Ole Drink has raised this program!
I mean...wow....19th in the playoff rankings and only a "C". It looks like Drink & Mizzou are reluctantly being given the respect they so richly deserve.
Thanks...can't wait for 2025!
