It’s a weekend that will live in College Football infamy forever. The weekend that 5 of the top 8 teams in the country fell in defeat. Let that really sink in for a minute… Now here is the questions, is that because of an absurd amount of upsets or did all the pundits get it wrong? I’m going to say, both! I know, that was a stretch but here’s why:
First, we have tons and tons of games as compared to the NFL, this leads to too many unknowns for even the most avid fan. Everyone is guessing on how good a team is based on what information they have been presented. The problem, we try to take the previous year, the program’s history, the coach’s history, the history of the two teams playing, etc. etc… This puts us in a position where College Football is all guessing until we see each team play each other, which doesn’t happen all the time, so then we’re back to where we started which is, the Eye Test.
