Doesn't indicate underperformance.

Being favored 3 points in a game gives you a 55% chance of winning. Play enough games where you have a 45% chance of losing, and you'll lose a lot of them. According to [link=(www.teamrankings.com/ncf/odds-history)]this[/link], if you play 25 games and you are favored, on average, 1 TD overall, then you'll win 17.45 games.

I also have a hard time believing we were favored in every game last year. Looking at our schedule, really?
