Preemptive Disclosure

It appears all but certain that the Ohio State Buckeyes, who were very lucky to escape with an overtime win over Purdue, will leapfrog the USC Trojans and seize the #2 spot in the college football BCS poll. The main factor behind the OSU jump?

The New York Times

Or more accurately the NY Times' computer:

The biggest surprise came from The New York Times' computer, which unexpectedly dropped the once-beaten Trojans from third to fifth.

So later today when you hear a certain talk radio host crowing about the Buckeye's ranking, just remember who made it possible.

The New York Times.

And as James Phillips, who contributed this bit of intelligence, predicts:

I guarantee that Hugh, an avowed conservative, will not reveal that the New York Times is behind this. Would any real conservative rely so strongly on the opinion of the New York Times? Would any real conservative maintain any credibility after relying on the opinion of the New York Times. And would a real conservative conceal this from his listeners? I think not. Shameful.

Hugh and the New York Times? Unlikely bedfellows indeed.
