Wrong!! The Orange Bowl had one of the two best (non-probational)
teams in the country - OU! Granted, Miami probably had a better
team than Penn St., but you can't take anything away from Penn
St.'s record (11-0). Iowa? Not a chance. ucla proved that.

And I suppose sweeping the Pac-10 is difficult? Maybe for ucla
but it wouldn't have been for OU or Nebraska.

But that is where you are WRONG, Eddy Lor. They ARE the best
college football team in the country!! And that's not just my
opinion and the opinion of all Sooner fans across the country,
but also the opinion of the college coaches, sports writers, the
Scripps-Howard News Service and Sports Illustrated!! But maybe
you know something they don't?
Don't worry, we are enjoying the national championship!!

Boomer Sooner!
