Before "I can't believe we didn't get an A+", this is all relative to expectation.

I can't believe South Alabama gets a B-

Too high or too low?

I don't think USA should be listed at all. Their season was too confusing to evaluate. N/A.

Over/under for victories before the season started was 2.5. More than doubled that number despite a crippling amount of injuries. B- is fair enough but probably should have been slightly higher.

We passed? It is a D I know, but still.

I don't know what App did to not deserve an A? Perhaps they turned the assignment in late, or the grader is a Georgia Southern fan?
B- is pretty fair for us. Beating Central Florida badly saved us from a C.

It's based on program relevance. Troy's 4-8 to 10-3 is a large factor in getting that +. APP was 11-2 last year, so an A is reasonable. They had a good year.

It's really not that confusing. We were pretty good when we were mostly healthy, and not so good when we were not. No team in this conference would be better off with the injuries we sustained this year.
