Sure. I felt there was a chance that we\'d do better. We\'ve also underperformed Pomeroy\'s prediction at that point in the season.
On the other hand, the media poll had us in ninth, and felt we\'d be pretty poorly ninth if the points totals are anything to judge by. The coaches felt similarly, also ranking us ninth.
So "right in line with expectations" is not as goofy as you make it out to be. As I\'ve said earlier, the excuses for poor performance disappear at the end of next year barring reoccurrence of the bubonic plague or similar.
