I would also question BYU's claim to #1.  The latest Sporting News
(11/26/84) had them rated at #7, with Florida, OK, OK State, Ohio
State, and Nebraska rounding out the top five.  I tend to belive
them for pretty accurate ratings.  They don't follow the "popular"
polls and I have found them over the last few years to be quite
good, especially in college basketball.

Anyway, every sportscaster here in Denver thinks they deserve
their rating of #1.  I'm not too sure about that.  The composite
records of their opponents this year is 50-75-3, with the best
team having a 6-4-0 record.  Not too impressive.

My vote would have to go with Oklahoma (even though I despise
Barry Switzer).  I only vote for them because Florida is on
probation till hell freezes over, so they really shouldn't be
counted.
