I agree 1000%, your statement is very true we have to be realistic with things
Every time I try to be realistic with it, the thoughts about TCU being 5-7 in 2022 after hiring a new coach( they had talks with Coach Prime) then going to the 2023 title game and finished at 13-2….
Then I sit back to think man that Colorado roster was 1-11(even tho we changed everything but the mascot and team colors)…which lead me to thinking about a USC going 4-8 in 2022 then hired Lincoln Riley(who brought his luggage with him) then improved to a 11-3 record in 2023….
So idk….. I’m just here
but you made great talking points…. Year one was a feel out year at JSU
*fyi Colorado and USC had the same record in 2022 which was 4-8
