Other 7 Win Turd Rebuilding Seasons

Jim Tressell 2001, 7-5, #28 SRS. (Inherited #7 team previous 4 years) Won NC next season.
Pete Carroll 2001, 6-6, #26 SRS. (Inherited #23 team previous 4 years) #1 SRS in next season, won NC year after. Would have won NC in current system.
Bob Stoops 1999, 7-5, #19 SRS. (Inherited #70 team previous 4 years) Won NC next season.
Nick Saban 2007, 7-6, #27 SRS. (Inherited #27 team previous 4 years) #1 late next season, loss in SEC champ kept them out of NC game. Won NC next year.
Jeff Tedford 2002, 7-5, #26 SRS. One completion away from playing in NC game two seasons later.

Chris Petersen 2015, 7-6, #26 SRS. Inherited #35 team previous 4 years.

One distinction is for those four guys (not Tedford) it was their first season while for Petersen this was his second season. Given the transition, major turnover and rebuilding that had to be done, year 2 was somewhat like a first season. Tedford's second year was a similar rebuilding job as the team he inherited had many seniors.

Not only were we #26 in SRS but in the #23 in ESPN's efficiency and #20 in FEI. I think the S&P+ rating is unusually high and I place more emphasis on FEI as that has more to do with scoring whereas S&P+ focuses on yards.

The same people who hate the metrics now were using them several years ago to debunk Sark's 7-6 teams as good or improved teams.

    Again any system that ranks a .500 team in the top 26 is FS.

    We've had 7 - 7 win seasons in a row. Pick any one of them and get your lame ass back to doogman

    The difference is the metrics and advanced statistics show that this team was substantially better than the others. These things have strong predictive value.

    SRS had a 52% win % against the spread this year. Not that SRS is the end all be all, but Connelly chooses a winner of every game based on the SRS and keeps track so it's easy to find those numbers.

    I pick 2012, the ultimate Sark year. ASJ, Wilcox pretending to be a great coordinator, meltdown against the coogs, meltdown against your favorite coach in Vegas. Playing in Seahawk Stadium so that PGOS could Bark, Howl, Snarl, and Kaw all at the same time. We beat Stanford! We got raped by dick rod! It was magical
