        Aha.  I think that Jim would give both field goals to Nebraska,
whom Michigan only beat by 4 points.  That would put Michigan at 9-2-1.

        Therefore, UCLA (also 9-2-1) had a "so-so season" this year.
Not only that, but UCLA had an easier schedule (see the article on
opponents' winning percentages), and should therefore not be in the
top 10, either.

SLAAAANNNNNDER!   LIBEL!   GROSS MIS-ATTRIBUTION!  IS THERE A LAWYER ON THE
NET!

The quote attributed to me (below) is most emphatically not mine.  I'm
generally a lot more careful about semantics (I'm a writer by training,
trade, inclination) and wouldn't have let myself be *quite* so wide open
to counter-attack -- at least without meaning to invite one.  Apology will
be accepted, if offered.
