re: If Auburn finishes 7-6, would that make them mediocre?

I don't see how it is embarrassing at all looking back at your team's performance for the year and making note of what did, or did not, go well. That is all I am doing here. With a decent, level-headed QB, we will be much improved. How much improved remains to be seen. We ranked #107 nationally in passing this year (11th in the SEC) and still found a way to be in games. When you are that inept in getting the ball to move...things stall. As a result Auburn stalled this year. We weren't absolutely horrible, though.
