There has been an avalanche of conclusions drawn to make sense of the events of the last 48 hours in this country. I lean toward a personal version of chaos theory. Simply stated, it is the firm belief that America loves chaos.

For that reason, a majority of Americans should embrace the final month of the college football season as it speeds toward the inaugural 12-team playoff. The next four regular-season weekends seem certain to feed us a steady diet of didn’t-see-that-coming calamity with side orders of clean, old-fashioned hate and messy, newfangled math.

The landscape is most pregnant with full-goose-bozo possibilities here in our own boisterous backyard, where the SEC has positioned itself for a November more memorable than 2013. That month remains the gold standard of immortal incredulity, when Auburn gave us, in a 15-day span, the Prayer in Jordan-Hare and the Kick Six.
