You can find five jokers who can ball. If one of those guys is elite, you have a puncher's chance on a given night. If two are elite, you can make a run.
Football needs a total of about 35 players and coaches to compete at a high level.
The odds of a 16-seed Sam Houston State beating Georgia or Alabama (or Kentucky, for that matter) are extremely remote, if not statistically impossible.
This pretty much nails it.
Upsets in the football playoff won't even feel like huge upsets. Last year, UGA as a 6 seed might have won the playoff... but would UGA beating Michigan really feel like much of an upset?

The media drives the upset narrative so people will watch. Upsets don't exist on the level that people believe they do. If a team beats another team it was not expected to beat, it still happens for a real reason, not some magical reason.
