ESPN is a special kind of stupid.

So after watching the state of Mississippi use all its crooked letters and humpbacks to lay claim as the sanctum sanctorum of college football dominance this past Saturday, I made the mistake of not rolling my ass off the couch and shutting down the television and was thus roped in to watching the talking heads in Bristol pontificate on the state of affairs with hyperbole and breathless superlatives in full force.

They had a conversation about how "certain experts" think teams will be able to get into the playoffs with one loss.

And I was all like...

Double facepalm

Honestly, when was the last time four teams finished the regular season undefeated? I know there were three undefeateds in 2004, when VT played Auburn in the Sugar Bowl (Imagine an undefeated SEC team being left out these days? My how times change.)

To be honest, I think we'll be lucky to see two teams escape this madhouse of a season unscathed.

EPSN. The worldwide leader in inane sports commentary.
