It is baseball season.
We don't have time for these offseason threads.

Another example of what a helluva job Mullen has done at State.

Well obviously the check didn't clear until the end of the season.

Guess Florida had the same problem in 2006.

Crazy to think MSU was No. 1 just two years ago and now will finish last in their own division this year.

And could do so with a pretty good team.
Though, Auburn was #3 in week 11 of 2014, finished 4th in the SEC West in 2014 and 7th in the SEC West in 2015.

Well, I see Nostradamus has spoken. Looks like we shouldn't even suit up this year since we are going to no doubt finish last. Bummer.

We made up for it being #1 all year in 2009 with no natty. Check bounced.

Making it count: ratio of total weeks #1 to AP NC (i.e., final week #1):
Auburn: 2/9 = 22% (Hard to believe Auburn only has 9 total weeks at #1, but the 22% shows how they capitalize. Another stat that shows Auburn has a tendency towards boom or bust seasons)
A&M: 1/7 = 14.3% (only title was in 1939, that was a long time ago)
Alabama: 10/74 = 13.5%
Tennessee: 2/18 = 11.1%
Florida: 3/41 = 7.3%
LSU: 2/30 = 6.7%
UGA: 1/15 = 6.7&
All others 0% (not AP titles)
Auburn: 2/9 = 22% (Hard to believe Auburn only has 9 total weeks at #1, but the 22% shows how they capitalize. Another stat that shows Auburn has a tendency towards boom or bust seasons)

These numbers show how strong of an anti-Southern bias the media had for most of the 20th century, really.

If we'd won in 2013, then it would be 3/10. Pretty nuts.

AP Poll is as useful as having 3 dicks.

Isn't it funny that the AP changed the way it voted to after the bowl games when Bama won the natty in 64 and lost their bowl game. And in 65 they waited and Arkansas lost their bowl game. If it had not been changed, Arkansas would have won the natty in 1965.
But....
quote:
At season's end, Michigan State, Arkansas and Nebraska were all unbeaten, with records of 10-0-0, and as champions of the Big Ten, Southwestern and Big 8 conferences, respectively, they played in three separate bowl games (Rose, Cotton and Orange). Arkansas and Michigan State lost in their bowl games, and Alabama defeated Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. In the poll taken after the bowls, Alabama was crowned the national champion by the Associated Press.
So back-to-back AP national champions for Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide in 64 & 65.
