re: Expansion Teams vs. Blueblood SEC

Cockrocket, that is my exact point. Many UGA fans wanted richt fired after 2010 due to how poorly we'd played. A&M is discussed as world beaters but after this season their record over the past 3 years (comparing conference records only, A&M plays the softest non-conference schedule I've ever seen) will be similar to 08-10 UGA yet they are discussed as the "OMG next greatest team!!!!!!1111" while UGA is kicked as underachievers. All the while, every team in the SEC has either failed to post a winning record vs. Richt or is currently suffering through a 3 game losing streak to Richt.

We have under achieved at times, my point is simply that A&M has greatly benefitted from low expectations.
