I'm a big fan of football myself, and I like to see good games, not runaways.
Why, if a teams fourth string can beat team b's first string, is team a even
playing team b at all?  For instance, four or five years ago (or however many
the AD wants to say the schedule(s) were made up) Nebraska was a top-20 team
and Northwestern was either mediocore or starting their losing streak.  Why
was this game scheduled back then?  I am not saying that Nebraska is or isn't
number one, all I'm saying is, that a number one team plays as many top teams
as it can, and it wanting to prove it had a GOOD program, NOT schedule teams
like Northwestern.  Perhaps if Northwestern gets it together in a few years 
(say for example 1987) and the AD is scheduling it's schedule for 1996, then
perhaps schedule the game then.
