It worked out pretty well. We're going to get one of the most anticipated games in quite a while.

I'd be surprised. That's not typically what happens.

The computers don't care about the name on the front of the jersey or that school's spot in the [human] polls. They see a 3-2 Ohio State team and a 4-1 Vanderbilt team.

It's a paper-thin margin. It's irrelevant, because Virginia Tech is not going to catch Southern Cal and they have a faint hope of catching Texas. Virginia Tech isn't going to catch Southern Cal before they (the Trojans) catch Texas.

If Virginia Tech is undefeated, it could be No. 1 in the computers (at the end of the season).

The battle for number three is a lot closer than the battle for number two right now.

Texas played an opponent that is now 4-2. So that's going to help what has been a pretty weak strength of schedule so far.

Oklahoma was the last of those teams in the polls, but the computers and strength of schedule moved them up.

If Virginia Tech is the only one-loss team, then they make the Sugar Bowl. Otherwise, they don't.
