The Air Raid offense sucks and no one wants to run it.

[Really Clark?]

Again that is subjective. Take WV. They had to win 2 of those games to marshall and Ucon in OT. It's easy to say they won "x" amount of games, but against who and what conference were they in.

NC.. their 8 wins were from Rutgers, EC, barely beat a 6 win Clemson, a 4 win Va, William and Mary, a 3 win duke, and OT win over a 6 win Tn team. Their lone quality win was against FSU where FSU missed a game winning FG.

But what is not subjective is you can't find 1 division of a conference where the Top 5 teams finished inside the Top 15. Heck you are hard pressed to find a whole conference with 5 teams in the Top 15. When they literally beat everybody they played outside of their division (with exception of Bama losing to So Car). It's no longer subjective. That becomes historic. Find those comps because they are always slip ups, tough out of division opponents, etc. It is honestly a season where you could have taken any of the 4 non west division winners and placed them in the East or another conference and they are playing for title most likely. It was that difficult of a division.

[confucius say]

So, this years OM and Kentucky are not better than the 4 teams that ahead of us in 2010. We finished 15th. That's 5 teams in the SEC west that finished Top 15. SEC West top 5 teams only lost too SEC west Top 5 teams in 2010, except Bama's loss to USCe. 2010-2011 is historically considered the strongest competition for one division of a conference. You are hard pressed to even find comparable team strength in one conference much less in 1 division of a conference

I'm talking about the schedule as a whole. All 12 games. On the whole, there is minimal difference. 2010 had a better top 4 opponents but 2022 had a better bottom 8.
2010 had a harder top 4 sec games by two wins, 2022 had a way harder noncon,
same bottom 4 sec games.
