SOS hardly tells anything about how difficult the season was. The overall ranking this year was brought down by a few really bad teams on the schedule that other seasons didn't have and the we didn't play any outstanding teams in 2014 that Taysom played in.
Bottom line is we finished tied for our best record in the past 5 yrs and had a chance in every game we played in ... no blowouts or bad losses. UCLA was our worst loss (only home loss) and that was when they still had Rosen at QB instead of some walkon.
