We are three weeks from the first kickoff of the 2018 NCAA Football season, and already the winners and also-rans have been determined. So, why play?? Someone has loaded all of the parameters into the computers and guess boxes to plan out who will win on each week and by what scores. It’s amusing to see early bowl projections that seemingly pop out roughly five minutes into the first half of the first game.
Well, that’s all nonsense. Football isn’t about falling into line with resigned expectations. Football is about preparing to defeat an opponent, on the field, on Game Day.
