By Wally Just like Alabama a week ago, Ohio State found the #1 crown to be pretty heavy. Too heavy, in fact, as they were upset by the Wisconsin Badgers in Madison. The #1 Crown goes to the next in line in the polls ... that would be Oregon, who was idle this week. But the biggest beneficiary of the Buckeye loss is Boise State who should rise to a solid #2 in … [Read more...] about Heavy is the Crown
