If number one beats number two by a field goal on number one’s home field, sounds like they’re ranked about right. We’ll see what the pollsters and computers say this afternoon.

Ohio State definitely looked like the better team, though, at least after the first quarter. Michigan’s first drive was impressive, but after that they seemed to sputter somewhat. I’d say that if these teams played ten games, Ohio State would win six or seven of them.

And I was pulling for a Cal victory last night, but it wasn’t to be. But if Notre Dame knocks off USC, what to do, what to do? It doesn’t make sense to rank the Irish ahead of Michigan, considering the pasting the Wolverines gave them in South Bend. Perhaps, though, just to be safe, USC should beat Notre Dame, and then let UCLA knock off the Trojans. That would leave Florida, I guess.

I know that a lot of people don’t want a rematch, but it looks like there’s a good possibility of that happening. Of course, then, if Michigan wins, people will be demanding another, and the best two out of three. Such is the silliness of trying to assign a national championship to college football teams. There simply aren’t enough games for it to be meaningful.
