After No. 2 Alabama soundly defeated No. 1 Notre Dame, 42-14, in the BCS title game last night, few football analysts would object to the claim that the Crimson Tide is the best college team in the nation.
But Harvard football players may validly argue that, on paper, they could hang with Katherine Webb's boyfriend and the Toast of Tuscaloosa. How could a second-place Ivy League team in the FCS beat the best of the BCS, you ask? Well, with the help of more than a few key upsets and sixteen degrees of separation, Harvard does just that.
