In my inaugural season of “NCAA 10,” I was cruising to a national championship, driving Notre Dame to a 9-0 record, when all of a sudden the train got derailed by Pitt, 42-38. I thought we might win it all. Despite the loss, the Irish went on to finish 11-1 to end the regular season, and trounced Cincinnati 38-13 in the Fiesta Bowl.
I’m sure many virtual fans were quite happy, while an equal number were wondering why exactly we didn’t win the national championship.
To that, I reply: There’s always next year.
