Top 10 ain't exactly "average." If 120 schools are in the FBS (1-A), I'm ok with being in that top percentile, realizing that a consistent top 10 program will occassionally bear BCS bowl or BCS title game fruit.
Florida, USC, Oklahoma, Georgia, Ohio State are some examples of schools that have had a top 10 to top 15 year (as opposed to top 5), yet are still in BCS title talk from year to year.
And their fans don't have a SKY IS FALLING mentality that I've witnessed.
So, considering where we've been for the majority of the 110+ years of playing football, I'm pretty good with a Top 10 program.

If we finish in the top 10 and I know that is still an open question... How is that an average team? Average is around the middle of the pack, 50th percentile. There are 119 Division 1 football teams. If my Math is correct it should put us in the top 10%. Again, I ask how is that average?
It is not possible to finish #1 every year, no matter who you are.

What logical proof do you have to show this? We are 1 of only 4 teams to play in the seccg in the past 3 years, we WON the national championshpi 2 years ago. If we win our bowl game, which we have the past 4 years, we will have 4 out of 5 years finished with at least 10 wins and more than likely will finish in the top 10 for 4 out of 5 years. You are completely insane if you look at that and think we are doing anything but staying consistent. We were a few plays from playing in the seccg. to win the national championship you have to have a lot of things fall your way, they haven't happened for us, but that doesn't mean that we have fallen back in the pack. We finished 3rd in the SEC this year with a sub-par performance on offense. Really all you did was say something that you had nothing to back up with and now you look stupid. Alabama and Florida have done something these past 2 years that is really really hard to do and will more than likely not happen every single year. But we have only had 1 year in the past 6 or 7 where we have not had a legitimate chance to win our conference but we are falling in the middle of the pack? REALLY? You have got to be kidding me

Wow, I never realized a #13 ranking was average!!! I guess you analyzing statistics based on the premise that every team besides the top ten and the bottom ten are average.

If "average" equates to 3rd in the SEC, 13# in the nation, and playing bowl games in Jan, I can live with it.
Gee, if we are an average program, I wonder what the other 97% of FBS teams ranked under us must be?
BTW, nice try at flaming.
