This is a really good team, thanks to the staff, admin, players, and fans.
But even when you have a team this good it is not a lock to make the playoffs. Having only 2 losses in the SEC is extremely difficult, honestly in addition to being good it requires some luck.
This year the close ones didn't go our way, next time they might.
With an just an okay running back room we lost our leading rusher (another one took a step back), and we lost our All American receiver for several games. Another big investment at WR was nearly a zero.
We had a really good chance entering the season, but it was far from a certainty to reach the playoffs. I would have put it at around 65% chance.
Let's take care of the Egg Bowl, and saddle up again for recruiting.
