re: VandyFans: Will you please explain "regression toward the mean" to USC fans?

The roulette wheel has no memory. If things truly regressed toward the mean, then a smart bet would be to wait until the ball hit a green (0 or double 0) and then bet heavier on red and black. But in reality, the wheel has no memory - the odds of hitting green remain identical to what those odds were before the last spin, regardless of the outcome.

Except college football isn't a roulette wheel. Programs are different, thus they have different means.
