Your best friend is beating you 41-21 in the fourth quarter with four minutes to go. At this point you have two options: a) accept defeat gracefully or b) hit the reset button and act like this game never took place. Well, in Ann Arbor and South Bend, they are still looking for the reset button or for Aston Kutcher to jump out.

On paper, Michigan was supposed to destroy Appalachian State. Notre Dame had too much talent to lose to Georgia Tech. Yet, both of these perennial powerhouses have had their national-title dreams extinguished. Last weekend was a subtle reminder why the game is played between the hash marks and not the watermarks. After college football’s shakeup, many fans should sit down and reassess their favorite NFL teams’ ability.  Here are five teams that will be searching for the reset button come late December and early January.

1.) San Diego Chargers

How do you fire a coach who goes 14-2? Seriously, that was not a rhetorical question. If anybody would be ever so kind as to shed some light on the situation, I would be much obliged. This Chargers team trots out nine Pro Bowlers, led by the reigning NFL MVP. Furthermore, the team returns close to 80 percent of its starters. So…

Why will they need a reset button?

Simple: Norv Turner. If I was going to war, I would want Turner to draw up my battle strategy, not lead my troops. Once is an accident. Twice is a freak occurrence. Three times is a habit. After, fizzling out at Washington and Oakland, Turner was relegated to developing Alex Smith, until San Diego came a knocking. Under Turner’s reign San Diego will definitely make it back to the playoffs (as long as the team stays healthy), but look for the Chargers to continue to lose playoff games. Which makes firing Marty completely useless.

2) Miami Dolphins

Ted Ginn Jr.? Are you serious? Ginn is a potential game breaker, but hell, so are Terrance Copper and Lee Evans. Name the last first-round receiver not named Randy Moss or Keyshawn Johnson who made an impact as a rookie. Moss was actually surrounded by nurturing receiving talent like Chris Carter and Jake Reed; meanwhile, Johnson was placed in the perfect system. Yet, Ginn Jr. will have a productive year if he protects the ball. Besides, adding Joey Porter to the nucleus of Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas provides plenty of punch. So…

Trent Green is smart and knows the system, but he can’t block for himself. Plus, I think he is still a little gun-shy since his last concussion. Look for Cam Cameron to draft a QB next year or roll with the rookie John Beck out of BYU. Either way, the Dolphins will be canned and shelved well before November.
