re: When is the last time you went into a season knowing your team had no shot at a CFB title?

What year was it (2000?) when Bama was a preseason favorite and went to play UCLA and lost? God if message boards were around at that time, can you imagine?

They played a series in 2000-2001 I believe. Maybe 2001-2002.
They lost both games.
Ucla is 2-1 vs UA. One of about 12 teams Bama has a losing record to in football.

I’ll help you out.
LSU has no shot at a CFB Title this year.

If lsu doesn’t have a shot this year then with that logic Texas will never have a shot

Every season Mark Richt coached.

So you knew the reigning national champs were out of contention because the coach who led them to the national championship the previous year was still the coach?

Did you look at the roster turnover? Yes. I absolutely could read the writing on the wall.
But, "roster turnover" isn't a valid excuse. Every team sends players to the draft. The cupboard wasn't bare in July 2020... at that point you had Chase and Marshall returning at WR, with incoming guys (Boutte, for example). Gilbert was basically the top recruit coming in, he was anticipated to be the monster Bowers is (people were talking prime Jimmy Graham impact). You had an experienced upperclassman with a cannon taking over at QB, a couple All Americans at corner, and LSU-level talent at the other spots (meaning, they were expected to be fine, with a few new breakout guys).
The offensive scheme was tweaked, not scrapped. Brennan was passing for close to 400 yds a game before he got hurt. First 4 games, LSU scored 34, 41, 41, and 52, against SEC teams. That SHOULD be 4-0. It was 2-2, because we revisited the Lou Tepper Drop Linebacker scheme
. And just for the record, defense was coach Idiot Child's field. He was supposed to be a solid D line guy, we expected to pressure the QB, and let our stud corners feast in man coverage. The collapse was program, not talent.

Curious about the heavy hitters of the league though. For me, 2020 and 2021 I knew we were DOA.
So after the National Championship you had us having no chance? Did you also predict the last place finish? Back to back last place finishes?

I assumed 9-3ish… I didn’t think it would get as ugly as it did. Never thought for one second we would repeat.

Never now that Heupel is coaching.
The only time i felt that way was when JG was our QB under Jeremy Pruitt as our coach.
As a lifelong Tennessee fan, i had never felt that complete hopeless feeling even under Dooley and Butch.
Something about those Pruitt teams. Geez.

It also helps to play in a really weak conference.
