Now that the college football regular season has wrapped up and bowls are underway, I've begun to reflect on what a strange year it has been. Recalling the season tentatively starting in early September with only a handful of programs taking the field, we ended up with far more games played than I would have wagered on at that time, 508 games in total between FBS opponents through last Saturday. When we published the Football Outsiders Almanac in July, we posted projections anticipating a full regular season of 762 FBS games. When I posted my preseason projections two months later, only 382 games were on the books and four conferences hadn't yet opted into the season.
