Dooku allowed himself to end up in a situation where his Force powers were meaningless. It is possible that he could have used them on both Anakin and Obi-Wan - but decided to duel him saber-to-saber instead. This is due to Count Dooku's own hubris and arrogance. He is no match for Anakin in a lightsaber match, which is unfortunately what he decided to engage Skywalker in.
Revan has been defined as an extremely capable tactition (and though his personality hasn't been defined), there is nothing to suggest that he was arrogant or cocky. This is part of the "Gary Stu" syndrome that the moronic writers at Bio-Ware and LucasArts inflicted Revan with in their attempt to create a "perfect character".
If you're reading this, guys, you're stupid, and you need to get a damn life or try to make a character with flaws.
Anyways, enough of my rant. Revan's tactical prowess is above and beyond anything Dooku has at his disposal, and his Force powers are stronger as well. Anakin can win if this sticks to a lightsaber fight, but it isn't guarenteed.
Lastly, simply because Anakin assraped Dooku doesn't mean he can do it to anybody, because Dooku is hardly a Force god.
Dooku was described as consummate planer and it didn't help him, true he was arrogant, but he always had more cards to play, just not in his fight with Skywalker. And Revan isn't so much superior to Dooku in Force powers, the only chance of wining Revan has against Anakin, is in the beginning of the fight, but if Anakin comes close, comes at him, he is a goner. And Revan is no Force God either, i would only put NJO Luke and DE Sidious in this category, maybe i forgotten somebody.

Count Dooku's singular flaw as both a combatant and a tactition is his arrogance; we can logically deduce that it was because of this hubris that he did not attempt to disable Anakin as he did with Obi-Wan. His thoughts during the RotS novelization all but confirm this. He was so wrapped up in his supposed "superiority" that he nearly died and barely managed to take Obi-Wan out of the fight. Books like Dark Rendezvous and Labyrinth of Evil also go out of their way to confirm that Dooku does not like Anakin at all - Dooku himself says that if "fate wished to humble Skywalker" then he would "gladly be the instrument" to do so. He is jealous of the recognition that Skywalker receives for his raw power, and indeed admits that Anakin reminds Dooku of himself when Dooku was younger.
So, we can assume that it was Dooku's juvenile, jealous intent to best Anakin in a lightsaber match that he didn't use the Force against him when he had the chance. As Dooku (and other Force users) grow tired during their duels, the script confirms that Anakin simply grows even more potent. Finally, Dooku simply had no chance in saber combat, and wasn't in the position to use the Force - as the novelization goes into detail, when he used the Force against Anakin and Obi-Wan during their duel, he is nearly killed by the other.
Now, of course, if Anakin is in the metaphorical "zone", Revan doesn't have a prayer in lightsaber combat - and, if the situation is right - in Force combat either. But it is useless to simply say that because Anakin overcame Dooku, he can do the same to Revan. There is nothing to say nor support that Revan is a victim of the same hubris that Dooku was. Combine this with the fact that Revan is a sound tactical genius (Dooku is far from it), he has a much better chance than Dooku.
Oh, and as far as Revan's Force powers are concerned, I would say he is at least on par with RotS Sidious and RotS Yoda - he'd give them one hell of a time - and Dooku isn't on par with either. He couldn't overcome Yoda when he was distracted and emotionally conflicted on a world empowered by the dark side, and he was completely terrified of Sidious, so it goes to show the possible gap of power between those two.
If Revan plays smart and uses the Force, he can and will win. If this ends up in a saber match, he'll go down hard.
Hasn't it been stated somewhere that Yoda was the ultimate or strongest weapon against the Dark Side? I know i most likely have the wording incorrect, but you know to what i refer. If that is the case, then shouldn't that put Revan at most, slightly below Yoda? I really don't care one way or the other on a personal level, as i am of the same opinion as you as to how the fight would end up, but just to be fair to Anakin in this situation is why i want to know.

Revan is more intelligent and, apprently, not as arrogant as Dooku at least, so as Gideon said, unless Anakin was in the "zone", then if Revan clearly sees hes losing in a saber combat, hed try at least to use the Force against him
Doubtful.
I said that Revan would win by virtue of his apparent lack of hubris and tactical genius. But if this goes to saber combat, he will lose. Dooku couldn't just stop the lightsaber duel and go to Force powers, so I see no reason for Revan to be able to.
