      Steve, let it go man.  There is no way NU is going to be 
undefeated so any argument I propose is a big time moot point.  I am not 
going to go to all the work to make a case about something that isn't 
going to happen anyway.  But, just in summary I have never said if the 
Huskers go undefeated they won't play for the NC.  Not once did I say 
that.  I just a few times said IF they are undefeated they are going to 
need a few other circumstances fall into place to play for the NC than 
just being undefeated.  I will probably have to back up on the top five 
thing.  IF they go undefeated they likely will be in the top five.  You 
cannot prove NU will play for the NC if they are undefeated at all.  
But, even if you believe you can it isn't going to happen.  We just as 
well discuss what we are going to do when world peace is ushered in and 
famine is eliminated as discuss the Huskers being undefeated. 


     Just as an aside I would think you do not have any qualifications 
in this area to declare anyone wrong.  I really don't mind if you 
disagree with me.  That is fine and leads to good discussion.  But, when 
you feel you have the authority to declare me wrong that is a whole 
different deal.  Did you ever consider than in this you may be the one 
that is wrong?
