I don’t know if this is a weird woofing thing where people don’t want to express their highest hopes.

Yes a RB is freakin’ amazing in any year, but when your recruiting pool is limited each year, a critical mass of converging factors comes only once in a while.

I think 2018 is a special opportunity like 2011 and 2015. In a way, the opportunity is even greater this year, and when each of these comes along, I gotta hope this is the one. 

Even if the odds are say, 1 in 10 that the players that need to take a step forward do so, and the team stays healthy, and gets lucky a few times, I have to say, if the cfp doesn’t happen this year, I’ll be disappointed. It’ll haunt me like the what ifs about Shayne Skov’s injury in ‘11.

It is interesting that you noted 2011 and 2015 as special opportunities because both featured the odd-year schedule.  One of the problems this year is the even-year slate.  It could be the difference between a special year and a darn good one....
