"In late September 2008, the fourth-ranked University of Florida football team hosted unranked Ole Miss in Gainesville. The Gators were a year removed from a national title, and they hoped to get back to the pinnacle. But things went quite badly that Saturday, and Ole Miss scored a shock 31-30 win."
"The sport forced teams to go from zero to 100 with haste. A blown game in the first four weeks could be, and often was, the total doom of a team's objectives."
"In the event's first decade, when four teams got in, multiple one-loss teams from the power conferences missed out. So did multiple unbeaten teams from the Group of 5 conferences."
"Every team in the country will play this weekend, and nobody in the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, or Big 12 will see their playoff chances take more than a light dusting."
