        Therefore, BYU was the best team in the nation in 1984.  QED.
BYU trailed (#6 in the BIG-10) Michigan most of the way in their bowl
game, but went on to win by 7; they had an awesomely WEAK schedule all year.
        But, hey; these pollsters really know who's the best.  (Don't
I recall Switzer whining about the decision for a long time?  Who is he
to contradict all of these men who have devoted their lives to football?)

        Be honest, Ron.  Would you have posted something like this last
year, defending BYU?
