I'd argue that their fast start in 2016, 10-0 going into Iowa before losing their last 3 was more impressive. Bottom line, I don't necessarily see any Hoke 2014-like implosions, but I truly believe 10-3 is their ceiling. Most schools would be thrilled with that. But the dfbia, with their 1/2 title since the invention of the forward pass thinks they should still be a national power. In the construct of today's CFB world, with a limited local recruiting base and a national power locking down the borders to there nearest fertile recruiting grown, they just don't have it.
