It just isn't realistic to have every team in the country hoping to play for a national championship.

There are programs out there that will have to put those expectations on hold until 2014. It may not be what the fans want to hear, but even the Chicago Cubs have finally given up hope on winning the World Series after a while.

There's always next season.

A few teams in the SEC will have a better shot a year from now, while there are a couple of dark horses that will compete with the big boys beginning next season.
