While the best-case scenarios are interesting, there's a limit on how much variation you can have in achieving the best-case outcome. Typically, offense, defense, and special teams all perform well and we win comfortably. Sure, we may have a surprise breakout performance or two from an unknown player, but there are only so many ways to achieve a best-case scenario.
Worst-case, however, has so many different ways that things go wrong. Player mistakes. Coaching mistakes. Turnovers. Weird luck. Fluky plays. Mistakenly showing up at Sam Boyd Stadium rather than Allegiant Stadium. I'm looking forward to all the bizarre ways that things go wrong in this worst-case series.
Yeah, as it seems like I'll be writing the vast majority of the series, I think it'll give me the creative freedom to make some of the games more interesting (whereas I tried to keep things relatively tame for the first entries).
Not sure how much I'll get into player or coaching mistakes--even though there's a huge disclaimer that this is fake, it does feel bad overly criticizing a real person for a fake game.
You can tell Leland is a truly experienced Bear. We already have had both classic Sunshine pumping and a reminder that DOOM is never far away for the Bears (though real DOOM would be UNLV completing the comeback upset).
All I know is we better be going 10-0 because this fantasy. Lol.

Maybe it's because UNLV looks so weak/we look so promising that I don't even think they could win in a worst-case scenario.
Or maybe it's because I know the real worst-case scenario for Cal fans is to that early-season hope and how it fades away...
