The Los Angeles Times thinks it has college football figured out. Today the paper published an article written by the apparently prescient Chris Dufresne, who predicts that the 2008 season will not be able to live up to last season.

Dufresne writes:

Wouldn't it be something if 2008 could match last year's trip-wire to trip-wire action?

 

Forgetaboutit...

It was the season Appalachian State shocked Michigan, Stanford jaw-dropped USC, Hawaii finished 12-1 and Notre Dame finished 3-9.

 

The No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Associated Press media poll lost on the same weekend three times, and USC, California, South Florida, Boston College and Oregon all climbed to No. 2 before losing grip.

Cal was a granola-bar toss from No. 1 when its backup quarterback let the clock expire in a home loss to Oregon State. Cal then skidded, Tedford over heels, out of the poll.

Missouri and West Virginia entered the final weekend 1-2 before both were hit with 1-2 sucker punches.

 

Ohio State was No. 7 in the BCS in mid-November, yet somehow climbed to No. 1, and Louisiana State hilariously advanced from No. 7 on Dec. 1 to No. 2 on the evening of Dec. 2 in a circus-like circuitous route to its second BCS national title in five years.

 

Georgia got by-passed in the standings without playing and did not take kindly to it, responding with an eight-team playoff proposal that had the legs of an abalone.

Since, according to the Los Angeles Times, the season is already all figured out, we may as well just skip watching the games altogether. In Dufresne’s words, Forgetabouit.
