My prediction for the #1 team at year-end:  Penn State

Take a closer look:

  - Two big, smart quarterbacks (equally capable)
         John Shafer (a scrambler) 6'3"
         Matt Knizer (excellent arm) 6'3"
  - Two big, smart running backs (equally capable)
         D. J. Dozier 6'0", 215 lbs.
         another running back who is 6'1", 230 lbs. (a BRUISER)
  - A terrific offensive line
  - A whole flock of good receivers
  - Top-notch linebackers
  - Great coach (uh, I think his name is, yeah, that's right, Paterno)

FIRST GAME:  whooped a top-ranked (preseason #1) Maryland team AT
Maryland!

SECOND GAME:  Took care of Temple, a team that almost beat Boston College.

REMAINING GAMES: Alabama, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh (will win 2 out of 3)
                 The rest are easy (will win 7 out of 7)

That leaves them with an 11-1 record at season end.  With a little bit
of luck, they will be 12-0 at season end.  Plus, they don't play a schedule
like BYU plays (e.g., Mother Mary of the Sisters Bertrille College of
Marymount).  Actually, this is one of PSU's easier schedules in a number
of years.  Paterno went after the tough schedules because he believes it
makes his team better AND, most importantly, it gives them a better chance
to become #1.

PS: I would love to see Penn State, or for that matter, any
    team from the following, play BYU:
               1) Nebraska
               2) Auburn
               3) Iowa
               4) Maryland
               5) UCLA "please, can I see it one more time?????"
               6) Ohio State
