The debate over BYU versus OU seems to me to missing a few
points: what about Florida or Boston College or SMU or ...? 
Certainly, if BYU loses then Florida will be the #1 team, owing 
to a superior record and a difficult schedule. (yes, I know they 
"cheated", but that is not really relevant in determining whether 
or not they have the best team this year). Did OU play a tougher
schedule than Florida? Is their record better? I am not a Florida
fan, so I don't know, but I would think many of the same things
that have OU fans screaming about BYU's ranking would have
Florida fans screaming about OU's ranking.

I'm not saying Oklahoma didn't have a great year: they did. 
So did many other teams, including BYU.
