Poll: Honest reflection to current status

[f77f00]

If you really want an honest account of what folks here thought at the outset of the season, here is a poll I took right before the beginning of the season, to get this same info:

Most said 7-5. A total of 24 posters said 5 wins or less.

I had 7-5 in your poll. I am an unrealistic Homer.

I thought Worley and Peterman both looked terrible in the Spring game, and that made me very nervous about how bad it could get in CBJ's first season. I expected 5-6 wins.
If we lose to UK, the on-field portion of CBJ's performance will have been below average overall. If we win the last game, I'll sadly upgrade that to average. 6-6 would have been a good season when you throw in Auburn and Missouri being much better than expected.

Great QB play can make any coach look good. Bad QB play can bring down an entire team.

What did everyone think of Jimbo Fisher before this season with Winston?

It's a sad day when hoping for 7 wins from a major program is considered unrealistic homer-ism. But I guess that's where we are now.

Yep, especially when you run a scheme that revolves around the QB to such a degree.

When it started I was hoping for 7-5 but then both Miz AND Auburn have become powerhouses. So I suppose you cut those two and its explainable - doesnt make it feel any better tho.

5-7 or 6-6.

Sorry guys/gals please vote. It always takes awhile for the poll part to load for some reason.
