Out of the three teams I follow, two had better seasons than in 2010.
Cal Golden Bears were 7-6 in 2011, two games better than in 2010 (5-7).
San Francisco 49ers made it to the NFC Championship game and were 13-3 in the regular season, 7 games better than in 2010 (6-10).
Only the Indiana Hoosiers had a worse season. They were four games worse in 2011 than 2010. 1-11 in 2011, vs 5-7 in 2010.
So not bad overall. The 49ers are back!!. However, the Hoosiers are as bad as ever. But one good thing is that they have no where to go but up!
