That isn't true. Both sides parse the data either based on emotional bias or because of what they sincerely think is important. Someone who thinks the team is on the right track will point to past successes and improvement over the past two years. Someone who thinks the team is on the wrong track will point to last year's losses to Bama and UF, 2005, or the drought of championships.
The same set of data that says that CPF hasn't won the SEC in 9 years says he's won the East 4 out of the last 7 years. The same data that says he has a losing record against Richt and Spurrier says that he's dominated both recently.
Both sides have "faith" in something based on which direction they think the facts are pointing.
