the lost opportunities last year.
If we had won 2 more regular season games and not laid an egg in the bowl game, we could be approaching Top 10 or better right now.
Sure this year will set us up for a chance next year...but next year's schedule is much tougher.
11-2 or 10-3 record last year and we would be sitting pretty at the moment this year.
Instead we probably won't see Top 10 until the end of the regular season this year even if we go undefeated.
