Reality is that we get emotional and overreact.
We (have to) pull out a last second miracle win against a broken Utah team, despite a Special Teams TD and being +3 in turnovers. And we don't see that as a cause for concern, but rather a sign that we're a team of destiny, chosen by the (small g) gods and a true national title contender who will never lose.
We lose against a sneaky good Kansas team after they got a game changing turnover on a crazy bounce? We're complete frauds, fools gold, and pretty much guaranteed to lose at Arizona St. But it doesn't matter, since even if we somehow beat them, we'd lose the CCG for sure. Really the only fix is to fire all our offensive staff.
