Allright, the question is....
Back in the year Micheal Vick was drafted #1 overall by the Atlanta Falcons (don't quite remember the year, maybe '98, I don't know) They traded with the San Diego Chargers to get the #1 overall pick and select Vick, Who did the Chargers Draft at #5 overall, and which player did the Falcons send to the Chargers to get the #1 pick

I will check the answers when I get back from school tommarow

The Chargers got Tomlinson with the #5 in the first round, drafted Brees with the #1 in the second, and got that fast white kick return guy who played with the Pats for a while... damn... his name...

Sweet, been a while.

Anyways, (don't know why I'm bringing this one up, still hurts) Michigan's recent 34-32 loss to Appalachian State sent the vaunted Wolverines tumbling from the #5 spot in the AP poll of the top 25 college football teams out of the official top 25. However, they do not hold the record for the highest ranked team to fall completely out of the weekly AP rankings after one game. What team was it?

I seem to recall a precipitous Notre Dame fall being mentioned in association this this historic event (got nothing particular against Michigan, just like seeing big upsets... unless they're against USC

)

They did have a big fall - #9-#25 (I read up a bit after this, have to find other teams to drown my grief) but they were neither higher ranked nor fell out of the AP rankings.

Cheesemore · Post by **Cheesemore** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 3:26 pm

It was probibly when the AP poll only had the top 20, am I right :wink:

I'll random guess (out of sheer hope) that it was ohio state that fell further.

During that legendary Fiesta Bowl in 2003, something happened to Willis Mcgahee in the fourth quarter. What was it (in as much detail as possible)?

Just couldn't leave out a comment, who cares about Willis McGahee. He was stuck behind the depth chart behind Frank Gore before Gore got injured

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 8:27 pm

Ill guess FSU.
