I KNOW I don’t have to say this to YOU, E-, BUT IT’S ONLY AFTER ONE GAME, people!!!
Yeah, yeah, the AP puts it out there, and people talk about it—and that’s JUST what we’re doing...but we need to squarely face the idea that we just don’t KNOW what we GOT yet. And THAT is what truly matters and what should concern US at this point: Where WE are at evolutionarily speaking now; What’s happening to others is interesting, but mainly irrelevant for the moment.
I guess we DO all see and THINK about it all, have opinions about it—but it is mainly meaningless at this point, let’s face it—this season more than ever, for the start of October, we know less than we’d normally know this “early” (the equivalent of late-August, in many ways!).
Me, I’m sitting back and simply waiting to see how OUR team progresses next coupla weeks AT LEAST before coming to much in the way of projections OR conclusions “BIG PICTURE” regarding our place in the grand “Major College Championship” scheme-of-things”!
