Looks like a lot of delusional people on this board, in that case.

Right, and there's no reason anyone should have expected a win against Oregon last week, but lots of people projected it. We were all optimistic about the way things would play out, and it hasn't happened. That's the role of fans, but honest-to-god expecting a 10-2 season every year is crazy. Football just requires too much luck, especially when you're playing lots of good teams.

And of course, a lot of delusional pollsters and coaches as well - you know, the ones that considered us a top 15 team.

They also had Texas A&M in the top 10 at one point, and they're probably a worse team than we are. I don't know what this is supposed to prove, that preseason polls are stupid? We all knew that already.
