The only hitch in the plans is that some of the teams have been invited on an "If" basis, meaning thai they can come "if" they win their final regularly scheduled contests either tomorrow or on Saturday.

And If all come through unscathed, the slate should look Ilk. this: Rose Bowl (both already California vs. Michigan. Sugar (already selected), vs Texas. Cotton Methodist selected) vs.
