NFL teams are in the same exact scenario. We know that North Texas isn't going to make the playoffs, much less win the Nat'l Title game in the same way that we all knew that Cleveland wasn't going to win a Superbowl for the last decade. Every year, you have four, maybe five teams with a realistic chance at winning the Superbowl and a couple more teams that could line up a run if they get lucky and stay healthy. That's EXACTLY like college football.
