Well, circumstances have allowed them to “correct” things this week. With polling surprises No. 1 Ohio State and the top 5 Nebraska, Oregon is expected to climb to No. 1 in both polls this week BCS. But the Ducks of inactivity will not ranked in the BCS ranking first official … and neither will Boise State, who should check in at No. 2 after beating San Jose State.

John found a fan who had a memorable collection of red tide and is estimated at 200,000.

Another lost a game, although it was awaiting heart transplant and was not supposed to go more than two hours at the hospital in Nashville. Life, he says, not worth living without football Alabama. (He received a transplant, but died due to complications.)
