That SP+ stat is a crutch for a program that still hasn't won anything meaningful. Coaching staility? They had the same guy for years who couldn't get over the hump, and now they're on a new guy. Maintaining a rating isn't the same as elevating it when it counts. Look at their playoff performance, a complete no-show. That's the development ceiling right there. Their foundation crumbles in big games, which is why they're perpetually in the "way-too-early" top ten but never in the final one. Real development is turning those blue-chips into SEC champions, not just nice statistical profiles. We see it every year, they get out-physicaled by teams with less "talent" because the core isn't built tough. All that stability just produced consistent disappointment. They're living on brand name and recruiting rankings, not proven, championship-level development. Until they prove otherwise on the field in November, it's all just hype.
