Isn't their only loss to somebody like Florida? Come on! This team won a national championship only two years ago and they now get ranked *behind* an Oklahoma team (with a less impressive record) that they just pushed all over the field??!! **IN NORMAN, OK, no less.** I would be angry if that happened to my team. The Sooners are going to have to try to pick up the pieces after the loss of QB Troy Aikman for the season. Jamielle Holieway, an untested freshman, is the new starter, which doesn't bode well for Oklahoma the rest of the way, even though Holieway looks like he could be very good *someday*. Maybe the defense can carry OU to the Big Eight title and an automatic Orange Bowl bid. By the way, does anybody else out there hate conference-bowl tie-ups? Each year, the fans are robbed of the best match-ups by this system. If we're not going to have a playoff system (which I'm not sure is a good idea, anyway), then we could at least have a bowl selection system which abolished all tie-ups and forced bowls to wait until the end of the regular season to offer bowl bids. I'm sure the Big Ten is tired of playing the Pac Ten every year anyway :-). -- UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!dday Dennis Doubleday CSNet: dday@umcp-cs University of Maryland ARPA: dday@maryland College Park, MD 20742 (301) 454-4247
