re: Did the FB Tigers meet, exceed or fall short of your expectations this season?

Here's what the folks at collegefootballnews.com predicted for our season. They saw us losing to Ole Miss but predicted we would beat UGA.

___________________________________
Non-Conference Games: TCU, UAB, Kent State, Furman
Games Against The East: at Georgia, Florida
Realistic Best Case Record: 12-0
Worst Case Record: 8-4
Likely Finish: 10-2
Pre-Preseason Projected Wins: TCU, UAB, Kent State, Auburn, at Georgia, at Mississippi State, Florida, Furman, Texas A&M, Arkansas
Pre-Preseason Projected Losses: at Ole Miss, at Alabama
Schedule Analysis: The Tigers play UAB in the second game of the season and get Furman in late October. That’s it for the breaks and breathers considering TCU is going to be stronger this season in the opener in Arlington, and Kent State is still going to be decent after coming achingly close to getting into the BCS. Even so, 4-0 is more than likely with Auburn to kick off the SEC season after the date with the Golden Flashes, and then comes the problem.
With all due respect to South Carolina, the two teams no one wants to face from the East are Georgia and Florida, and LSU gets them both with the date with the Dawgs starting out a run of three road games in four weeks. After going between the hedges, it’s more cowbell time at Mississippi State before hosting Florida and going to Ole Miss. The Tigers should be the better team, but what kind of a state will they be in against the Rebels? Fortunately, Furman and a week off should recharge the batteries before the showdown at Alabama, and another bye week is a godsend before hosting Texas A&M and Arkansas.

fell short. I figured we would lose 2 out of bama,a&m,uga and uf before the season but then once we looked good early i thought we could have a special season. The loss to uga didn't bother me all that much other than our d being lost, ole miss is what caused the season to fall short.
qb play was a bright spot, running back and wr were as good as i thought. The oline was a major let down and it should cost stud his job.
tightends were meh almost all year.
on the defensive side of the ball linebacker play and dline play were as bad as i have seen. I saw hope in the secondary with how we owned a&m but then chavis puzzled me by benching robinson for arky. I hope to see Robinson as our top corner next year.
The team did give me hope though with the finish and if we pull in a huge class the excitement should be back for next year.
