Errr, either sloppy reading or unclear writing there.   NBC *did* hype the
game.  I *was* in agreement with the hype, agreeing that the Orange Bowl
would decide the national championship.

As a footnote, one of the options the Rose Bowl committee is considering is
dropping the Big-10 when the current contract expires, and inviting the
highest ranked national team outside the Pac-10.  Won't that put the fox into
the hen house?  <chortle, chortle>

I say, old bean, that seems to imply a lack any sort of finesse or elegance;
isn't it better to titillate than never?
