Is there any sport where previous performance is less predictive on a week-to-week basis than college football? Like, sure, Bill Connelly makes a pretty good living attempting to read the statistical tea leaves and Vegas generally knows what it's doing, but one of the things that makes the sport so fantastically ridiculous is that there's really no telling what might happen in any given game.
But on the other hand, maybe we're just dumb! Why did I think Rutgers was good? I'm sure I had a reason, but like everyone else who thought that the Scarlet Knights might've given Ohio State a game, we were deadass wrong. But unlike the many, many other times when that's been the case, yesterday it was fun to be wrong. I hope to be wrong in exactly this manner again!

Maryland is up next, and either the Terps are not that great or Iowa is the greatest football team in history. I'm guessing the former.
