But when BYU wins some Wimbledon titles, maybe I'll give the analogy some credit :-) ) OU will have the chance to prove its superiority over Washington in the Orange Bowl. If they beat them, having beaten two other #1s, and a #2, while BYU has played #??? I feel their case is complete and unarguable. But I do agree that this whole argument clearly demonstrates the desperate need for a college playoff; that BYU may be #1 is sickening enough, but that no one with a claim to #1 will have the chance to beat them directly. That's a crime. David Whitney ctvax!uokvax!uok!dwhitney
