As you know, It is far easier to draw conclusions regarding what to expect in life by looking at the past, and generalizing that what has happened before will most likely happen again in the present.
Take the start of college football season. As a new season dawns, the top 25 is more often than not littered with the same cast of characters. ‘Bama will be at the top, Notre Dame (fresh off another 4- to 7-win season) will be somewhere in the middle, teams west of Austin, TX will be largely ignored, and the Florida State Seminoles will be in or damn close to that magical top-4 of teams who will — if all things stay the same — wind up in the College Football Playoff.
