    According to that older site, It looks like the Antelopes should be playin' the Sooners in the Orange Bowl.

     

    College Football Victory Chain Linker Version 1.0

     

    Nebraska-Kearney beat

    Mesa St who beat

    Colorado Mines who beat

    Fort Hays St who beat

    Washburn who beat

    Missouri St who beat

    Youngstown St who beat

    North Dakota St who beat

    Southern Illinois who beat

    Northern Iowa who beat

    New Hampshire who beat

    Army who beat

    Louisiana Tech who beat

    Mississippi St who beat

    Vanderbilt who beat

    Mississippi who beat

    Florida

     

    Or maybe they should be playing the Gators!

    The Victory Chain Analyzer site is great. They do a really good job of explaining the logic for those of us (like me) who are geeky enough to care. :)

    For a second...seems like no matter who you put in, it works out in the end. I'd like to see a team not better than another.

     

    You have to pick the undefeated teams as the Your Team, like Utah. There are others in the other divisions that are undefeated as well, I'm pretty sure.

     

    Until this weekend, Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech had only beaten each other. Once Ole Miss beat Texas Tech, it was possible to connect to those three teams, plus TCU (who had only lost to OU) and Boise St. (who had only lost to TCU). There might be some other "islands" of teams out there.

     

    Ole Miss is my Division I Transitive Property MVP for the season, beating both Florida and Texas Tech.

     

    Cal Poly San Luis Obispo also beat San Diego St., which opened up a lot of the lower division teams to beat the FBS teams.

     

    The inter-divisional games are my favorite to watch since I started the project. I'll be watching them a lot more closely at the beginning of the '09 season.

     

    Go Big Red!

    And Go Army!

    Frequent guest lurker here -- just got back from Jacksonville and signed up. (Awesome experience at the game and in the town, BTW.)

     

    I thought I'd share a web site I've been working on with everyone. It uses the "transitive property" of college football to show that one team is better than another. Flawed logic, now doubt, which makes it pretty fun.

     

    Here's a nice intra-state battle showing that Dana College is better than the Huskers. http://www.myteamisbetterthanyourteam.com/...;loser=Nebraska

     

    Anyway, please give it a try, send me any feedback you have, and let your friends know about the site.
