For the first time in a long time, there are no elite college football teams. Yet. And before you hop into my DMs, Texas and Ohio State fans, just know that your favorite teams are on a different level than everybody else.

If we are, as some scientists have hypothesized, living in a multiverse in which all possible outcomes occur along some timeline, then we can still rest easy knowing that our lives are in fact unique and special and touched by some higher power because in no other possible universe could what unfolded on Saturday in college football happen again.

It might seem like a good Saturday to hit the pumpkin patch but ... that's usually when you end up missing out.
