Oops!  You were a little quick on the trigger, Ron.  It's OK, though, I'm
a Sooner fan, too.  As such, allow me to gloat momentarily over the losses
suffered this past weekend by the following pretenders to the crown (which
must inevitably go to the Sooners):
    Nebraska (of course)
    BYU  (very satisfying.  Washington will rough them up next week, thus
          demonstrating that a bowl (?) victory over a 6-5 team (from the
          weak sister Big 10, no less) does not a National champ make)
    Washington (even though I can't stand the OSU Cowpokes)
    Illinois 
    Maryland (perhaps I shouldn't admit this one considering my present
              location).
As to Auburn, I can only say "Pick on somebody your own size!" As to Florida,
I didn't know they were going to field a team this year.  I guess the 
authorities let them out of their cells on weekends :-).
 
All flames will be read with relish.
