(I've never heard of tennis analogzied to the college footbal polls
in quite that way.  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.
