Yeah I somewhat remember THN having LA as cup favorites in the pre-season that year. They looked real dumb when they were 25th in December but they turned it on and showed the level of play that people were predicting.
A lot of people had Nashville going deep at the start of this year as well. I would definitely argue that their regular season was well below the popular expectation, though making it to the cup final is better than most expected.
