Ranking SEC fan bases by level of delusion

Obviously we all have good and bad fans. So going by ones that seem to stand out the most on the rant overall.
1. Tennessee - No one on this site has won more off season champs. Their level of "this year is ours" compared to results on the field is mind boggling. Truly amazing they can still have as much hope as they do to start every single season. Almost have to admire their delusions.
2. Arkansas - Usually right behind Tenn with preseason delusions. Their pride has been hurt significantly the last few years, but make no mistake. Chad Morris WILL win the SEC west in two years. He is the reason Clemson is elite. Just ask Arkansas fans.
3. Georgia - While Georgia clearly has it going right now, the delusion isn't just a one year thing. For a fan base with zero national titles since 1980, you could never tell by their fans confidence. We have already seen multiple dynasty threads. Losing Chubb and Michel? Hah..their RB's will actually be better next year, those guys were weak sauce compared to unproven players and Swift.
4. LSU - Moving down the list because of the last few years, but still. Say anything negative about LSU and they will respond in force. LSU has the worst staff in the SEC, and despite their fans basically accepting this, they still have the talent to win 10+, and beat Bama. If they don't do both, it's on the refs.
5. Florida - Another move down the list. 2008 Florida fans look nothing like they do today. Becoming more tentative than previous years. Still a cockiness will arise at any moment in time. Will remind you of how many East titles and SEC titles they have won since the split. Mullen will come in and bring Florida back to Meyer level, just wait for it. Right!? They will DEFINITELY not frick up this next QB. He's legit. Don't worry.
6. Kentucky - Obviously not football related. But Football is the number one sport, so being the most delusional in another still won't overcome the other schools football delusions. While they are an incredible program, the consistent 40-0 talks for a few years were beyond ridiculous.
7. Auburn - This last year Auburn was bad. Though previous they haven't lived up to the other fan bases ranked above them. Stidham for Heisman, best Auburn team ever, etc. Their cockiness has grown, despite also wanting their coach fired. Weird.
8. Ole Miss - Had a few years of being cocky during the Freeze years, but I noticed most of it was still "wait and see". They had a fun ride though. Ranked above the rest because of their denial of cheating, despite it being incredibly obvious.
9. Aggies - Consider themselves a big time program, but the results on the field would argue different for the last few decades. They will constantly remind you of how rich they are, how amazing their facilities are, and how they can steal a coach from another team. Just mention the month of October. They will accidentally forget the thread and move on to the next LSU thread.
10. Miss State - No school has underappreciated what a coach has done quite like Miss State. Despite SEC Country and others ranking them the worst program in SEC history, some in the fan base seems to think they should be yearly contenders. Bowl games used to be a rarity. Now they are common, yet somehow that's a sign of a weak recruiter and average coach. Let's not let that win percentage and lacking history fool. Miss State is a contender, it was just their top coach all time holding them back!
11. Bama - Why so low? Because it's hard to be delusional, when you win five titles in nine years. The fans may be outlandish, some spew nonsense about beating NFL teams. Still. Their team wins so much, and so often, most of their seemingly audacious claims could be legitimized. Alabama fanswill always think they will beat your team. Unless you are a 9+ win Auburn team, they are probably right.
12. Missouri - Cocky for two years out of the last ten that I can remember. Hardly pick their team to win the SEC east, and generally seem on point with predictions minus the extreme fans. I would assume it's because they all have a little SJW in them, and it weakens them. Can't be a pussy and make bold claims after all.
13. South Carolina - A few extreme, but most seem pretty accurate with their expectations. Only time they seem overly cocky is before the Clemson game, which is while delusional right now, understandable. Not a fan base with delusions of grandeur by any means. Except when they call themselves DBU. You aren't. But your coach is the funnest one to watch in the conference, so bravo for that.
14. Vandy - They suck, they know it.

Is this delusional? State beating Florida by 2tds.

You're the only Arky fan who rustles me

I like this thread, you put a lot of work in to it and I agree with most of it.
Ignore the downvoters, they just hatin'.
The only caveat I would add to this is that with some of these the delusion is manufactured for comedic effect, Arkansas is a perfect example of this.

Well I put us above you as more delusional. So why you mad? Your fan base certainly is a little over confident about the future with an unproven coach.

Appreciate it. I assumed it would get a ton. Mainly from Georgia, Arky, and Tenn fans.
