A few torn ACLs later, those plans are in disarray. The Chiefs aren't in the bracket at all. The Packers are here, but they're walking wounded as a 7-seed. So this year, because my preseason pick is officially impossible, I'm freeing myself to make a new Super Bowl prediction. The chance of me picking all 13 games correctly is zero point zero percent, but maybe we can learn something along the way.

That's a wrap on the regular season. All 31 automatic bids have been decided. Next up is the Selection Show on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN where the other 33 at-large teams along with the seeding will be revealed. Volleyball seeds the top-eight teams in each region and the top four serve as first- and second-round hosts.

Riptide Advisors, Errickson's new multimanager firm that's set to start trading on January 1, was created to address the industry's biggest challenge: a shortage of talented, experienced portfolio managers. The new manager's focus, Errickson said, is to be "basically a seeding vehicle" that will let unproven but promising talent - think an analyst at a big firm like Millennium who has never managed a book on their own - run small portfolios of up to $20 million with the goal to add capital and responsibilities over time by graduating to the firm's larger funds.
