Final grades for every team

[HooahVol]

USAToday has released grades for every team for 2017:

 

[HooahVol]

Yep. We got an F. That is fitting I suppose for the worst record in school history.

There's really no argument for it to be anything other than an F.

There's really no argument for it to be anything other than an F.

Maybe an incomplete because we didn't even show up to half the games?

 

[LouderVol]

how are 1-11 seasons Ds?
UConn got a C for a 3-9 season.
rutgets got a C+ for 4-8
Cal got a B- for 5-7

they got us dead right. maybe a little high, we should be at the bottom of the Fs.

I went straight to the F section to make sure the teacher got our grade right.

They did.

"There isn't a grade higher than A+ for Tennessee in my predictions." D4H

 

[Boston Vol]

UConn got a C for a 3-9 season.
rutgets got a C+ for 4-8
Cal got a B- for 5-7
.

It’s about expectations. Cal was predicted to win three games this year. So they overachieved and were competitive in some losses.

Lol how did Baylor get above an F?

Lol how did Baylor get above an F?

The fact that their program was effectively destroyed via scandal a couple years ago probably had something to do with it. Nonetheless, their performance this year was still pretty bad considering that, hence their D+.

 

[Knox-a-rue]

Can't say I disagree much. I think they nailed the SEC at least. And the other major teams I paid attn. to this year. A+ for FAU... questionable at best but I'm hard enough on Kiffin so I'll (mostly) let it slide.

One thing I'm trying to figure out is how Arkansas had the same record we did, fired their coach and yet got a higher grade.

Because they are Arkansas and we are Tennessee. I think most people expected an 8-4, 7-5 type of season from Tennessee. What was expected from Arkansas? 6-6? They also at least managed to win at least one conference game.
