This is true. However, given the odds of such a long list of teams with amazing track records all having off years during this particular season (which I calculate to be mighty slim odds), I'm willing to take that calculated risk.

I liken it to when I hold off on a project until the night before it is due. I take a chance of my computer dying, the dorm printer failing, et cetera. However, I know my track record when it comes to these sorts of situation (I'd say about 98% of my projects done this way come out as A's or B's) and assume that risk. Sure, I could completely bomb--and when it happens, I'll take what comes with it.

If Boilermaker proves to be a bust, I'll crack eggs on my forehead in Atlanta. A dozen, Grade A Large.
