It's a shame that all you sips have is the history to talk about.  Maybe one

While this may be a bad rule, I really have no opinion, I feel the worst rules
in college football are:
     * allowing a game to end in a tie
     * no playoff system to determine a REAL National Champ

any comments!!!???

Well, I was watching the game through blue-and-white glasses, too, but I
did see a receiver in the vicinity (same ZIP code) as the ball.
However, Toretta did not seriously attempt (tm) to complete the pass to
that player, but merely heaved it _way_ out of bounds in that general
direction to avoid the loss.  Intentional grounding in the end zone is
indeed a safety, but it seems to me that referees interpret "grounding"
pretty literally -- they won't call it unless the ball hits the playing
field with no eligible receiver nearby, and never when the ball is
thrown downfield and out of bounds.

	I would say that most often the biggest rivalries are between the local
cow-college (land grant institution with an Agriculture School) and the
major University in that state.  This is certainly true of Ole Miss and
Mississippi State (for all the dawgs out there who want to flame me for
this, I'm an MSU fan, born and bred in Columbus).

	Virginia and VPI, however, is a good example of a one-sided rivalry. 
UVa is always VPI's biggest game, but Cavalier hatred has been reserved
for the less than masculine baby-blue of UNC, accompanied by that
distinctive Tar Heel stench.  Virginia has no real football rivalries
with any team, because we were so bad, for so long, that it was hard to
get worked up about any one team and certainly no other team really had
to worry about us.

	As far as truely storied rivalries go, I would submit:

Notre Dame-Navy-Army, though the service academies are no longer in ND's
class, the Army-Navy game is still a biggie.

Harvard-Yale
Michigan-Ohio St

	This is assuming that a team may have only one biggest rival as the use
of the superlative implies, and that in order to be old the rivalry must
be at least 20 years old.

Ooops! I remembered hearing that the Bruins had been held to 36 and -4
yards in their last two games and assumed that the -4 was against
Arizona. Sorry, my mistake...

You know what? As exactly what the poll shows, there is no way to differentiate
between Miami and Washington at this moment. We can only hope that 1 of them 
get defeated when the season goes on. Even if Washington beats Arizona by a big
margin, it still doesn't prove (or demonstrate) that the Huskies are better. 
And please remember, the #1 should be decided by who has a better record, not by
who is a better team. Therefore, if both teams finish undefeated then there should
be another split MNC, assuming that Michigan remains undefeated and lose in the
Rose Bowl.

Here comes again: why not a playoff, if necessary, on January 15th? Virtually, all
the undefeated and untied (maybe) teams in 1-A deserve playoffs.

No, Kordell Stewart went the whole way.  He looked good, he had over 300 yds
passing, but threw some critical interceptions.  That's why there were no
TDs.  Mizzou really played up to the old cliche about bending but not breaking.
CU really moved the ball pretty well considering the horrible conditions
(strong wind, rain), but turnovers in the red zone almost cost them the game.
An INT with about 4 min. to go in their own territory looked like it might
do them in, but Mizzou fumbled during the subsequent play.  A field goal
in each half was the extent of the scoring.  Mizzou had nothing going on
offense.  Phil Johnson played hard but was under a lot of pressure.

    Well, we've been playing football at Alabama for 100 years now
so some things have changed.  We were even invited to the Rose Bowl
(notice that it is mentioned as well) but we won it so they didn't
want us to come over and play anymore.

This is not right!!  You can't say that if Arizona plays worse against Washington    
than they did against Miami, that Washington is #1!  How could you even make 
such a stupid statement?  Many conditions could make the game outcome different
for Washington than it was for Miami.  Any three of the teams could have a 
good or a bad day which would effect the outcome, home-field advantage effects 
the outcome, and injuries and emotion effect the outcome!  Any given team can 
beat any other given team on any given day if the "conditions" are right.  
Think!!
