Seven weeks into the 2008 season, there were 13 undefeated FBS teams. Seven weeks into 2010: ten. 2009: nine. Hell, even in 2007, the oddest, craziest season in recent memory, there were 10 undefeated teams, just like there were this season.

We learn the same lesson every year, then we forget it 12 months later: getting excited about BCS Armageddon scenarios in mid-October simply because there are a lot of undefeated teams left is a complete waste of time. And yet, we cannot help ourselves. Last week, we were envisioning a scenario in which LSU/Alabama, Oklahoma/Oklahoma State/Kansas State, Wisconsin, Clemson, Stanford, Boise State and Houston all finished the season undefeated. At least three BCS conference teams will be screwed out of a chance at the national title! Protesters will take to the streets (#OccupyBCS)! Chaos will reign! Yadda, yadda, yadda … we get our playoff!
