Most sports fans watch sports for the stories, and the human mind excels at spotting trends and patterns. Put these two things together and you get team narratives. Some of them we like to hear: "Travis Wilson really figured it out during the Oregon game, he’s a new quarterback now." some of them we don’t: "Michigan has improved drastically since they lost to Utah. If they played now, the Utes would get their butts kicked." These narratives tend to be figments. If the players and coaches are the same, and the opponents meet again, the results are going to be similar.
