Thought we'd beat Georgia for 4th in a row.

Thought Manziel would decline.

Thought Florida would have a pulse on offense and be a challenge.

I thought we'd win the east,and I think I will be right about that in the end, just wrong about the path it took to get there.

I thought Clowney would put up Derrick Thomas numbers.

There I owned it.

I was right about Arkansas being horrible and LSU being a 9-3/8-4 squad

Arkansas playing competitive football. I honestly expected you guys to be better as a team, record aside.

To be honest, not much. I didn't think our defense would be very good and they aren't. I thought the offense would lead the team as usual and they have. I thought most of our games would be shoot-outs and they have been. The only thing I didn't count on was devastating injuries to our offense.

I thought we'd be 8-0 right now.

I was completely wrong about Auburn in every way. I am a negabarner thru & thru and this season has been astonishing to say the least. I was completely wrong about Arky as well. I really thought would have righted the ship immediately. UGA is a wash. I guess I didnt realize their defense was that young, but I think they are a different ballclub without the injuries on offense.

Got right: Auburn would be much better.

We would beat A&M.

Ohio state would piss me off.

Ole miss would have a big win.

LSU would suck on D.


Got wrong: thought johnny fball would not be as good as last year.

Thought Mizzou would suck.

I thought Auburn would be .500 at best. Right now they control their destiny. Congrats Plainsmen

Can you dominate while dropping a game to a team that has 2 losses in conference play?

Thought Auburn would suck. Well I didn't actively think this, I just assumed they wouldn't be any sort of a hurdle to the NC game like they could be now.

Thought South Carolina would win the East. It's still possible but we'll see.

Thought Amari Cooper would have a bigger year. I honestly was thinking like the biggest year for a Bama wide receiver...ever. Guess I had the same hype that 2010 Gmac and Julio did.

Thought Texas A&M would be better. Manziel is still great, it's just that defense took about 10 steps back.

Thought Clemson would be better than FSU.

Thought Ohio State would be in the actual discussion for the NCG at this point (as in ranked 1-3). Was thinking that voters were going to be dumb and just choose the hype over Urban and their current win-streak and auto put them in. I am pleasantly surprised they're using their head for once.

That we would have more losses and we would be scrapping to get Bowl eligible. Also that we had no chance against A&M and only a small chance against UGA.

I thought our dline would absolutely dominate.
Thought our gurley would fill in admirably for dj swearinger.
Thought mike davis would be above average and thought he would share carries 60/40 with brandon wilds.

Thought missouri would be awful.
Thought LSUs D would keep on keepin on.

I thought our linebackers, defensive tackles and Craig Loston at safety would all be good enough to carry an otherwise young defense.

Safety and linebackers have arguably been the weakest parts of our defense...

I thought Auburn would go 7-5 or 8-4

I thought Missouri would drag the bottom of the east

I thought Arkansas would be better than last year

I thought A&M would contend for the west

I thought Clowney would be a Heisman finalist

I thought UGA would dominate the east

I underestimated Manziel and overestimated A&M as a whole. I didn't expect LSU to be garbage either, however. I expected a lot more out of the SEC, not including Bama.

Auburn was better than I thought they would be.

A&M's D is worse than I thought it would be.

JFF is running less than I thought he would be to still be putting up those stats.

Mett playing much better than I thought. Still on fence though for pro.

LSU's receivers better than I thought and I thought Highly.

Same with Evans.

I really didn't think Alabama would be in the driver's seat at this point.

Wrong:
I didn't think A&M's defense would be historically bad. I bet Damontre Moore and I both wish he had stayed.

I didn't think Mizzou would step up as quickly as they have. Well done.

Right:
JFF would still light up the scoreboard. All the "We have a year's worth of video" posts in the offseason cracked me up, but there was nothing to say until he actually played.
