If the WAC hadn't signed a contract with the Holiday Bowl to send their 
champion, maybe BYU could play in the Orange Bowl against #2 Oklahoma.  Then
it really would be for the National Championship.

My guess is that when OU beats Washington the writers and/or coaches will
see the light, and vote them Number 1, no matter what BYU does against 
Michigan.  As far as I can tell BYU has not played any of the present Top 20
teams.  Oklahoma has:


			Tied (at the time) #1: Texas
			Beat (at the time) #1: Nebraska
			Beat (at the time) #2: Oklahoma State
			(our three biggest rivals, two on the road)

			Will beat present #3: Washington
