There are a lot of repeats in there. I didn't read the article, but what's the reason behind that?

It just says "Note: Some schools are being considered by more than one conference." at the bottom of the list.

It pains me to see that HOUSTON still did not get any love even after we won the Heisman a year earlier!!!

Ware not deserving that trophy is just one of those myths of college football lore, like BYU not deserving their national title, or the coming 4x16 conference setup. 90% of fans couldn't pick Andre out of a lineup, even with his jersey on, and yet they'll go to the grave "knowing " he stole the Heisman one year.
