To quote Drew Magary:
"No sport is more dependent upon self-delusion than college football, mostly because the national title is usually won by one of roughly 10 schools. The other programs in Division I are helpless. . . You practically have to be insane to be a college football fan. Anyone who takes reality at face value would never bother with it. The younger a sport's participants, the more insane the expectations are. Since young athletes have little in the way of a track record, you can project all kinds of unreasonable future accomplishments for them. Every year, every coach on every team thinks to himself, "By golly, this team has a chance to be special." And they NEVER are."

In fairness, we have *some* chance. Miss State and/or Vandy preseason happy talk has little to no chance to bear fruit.
