The last three college football weekends have featured three number one ranked teams going down on the road. Two weeks ago #1 Alabama lost at South Carolina, last week #1 Ohio State lost at Wisconsin and this week #1 Oklahoma lost at Missouri. More than likely the Oregon Ducks will probably be ranked #1 in the country, going into next weekend. Ducks, be careful...it's your turn as a number one rank team. It'll be interesting to see how the voters place teams such as Boise State and Texas Christian. Since traditional BCS Conference teams have gone down the last three weeks. Let the debate begin, if both teams go undefeated, could one or both make the BCS Championship game. Would the voters allow one or two one loss teams to meet in the title game. Those teams would come from a BCS Conference. The puzzle will clearly unfold during the next several weeks.

Dallas all summer has been a top NFC choice to represent the NFC during February's SuperBowl at Cowboys Stadium. However Vince Young, Chris Johnson, Nate Washington and Kenny Britt make their collective and respective presence known on Sunday. Once again the Cowboys put up great offensive numbers, however when they needed key scoring drives in the 4th quarter, those drives ended with penalties or turnovers.
