Perhaps, though it seems a bit too much armchair psychiatry for my tastes. How would this manifest? Not strategizing in the week prior? Not bothering to adjust during games? Playing Candy Crush while the players wait for the inspirational speech? Complacency is a real issue in the long-term, obviously. I'd just have to have some solid examples of how it manifests week-to-week.

It manifest like most long term disaster manifest. Through the slow, but certain accretion of poor decisions.

No, I understand the show x to prove y that you are asking. But it isn't a show x to prove y sort of a situation.

Its more Chaos theory at work. A small but uncorrected flaw enters the program and slowly, but very surely throws all further calculations off.

Arkansas thumps Florida. Florida thumps Mizzou. Mizzou beats Arkansas.

You are looking for one specific data point but it isn't one specific point. Its a whole cloud of shifting answers that change from week to week and only have Arkansas under achieving as the end result.

1 plus 1 does not equal 2 with Bert.
