Louisville took the plunge in both major college football polls after its 45-26 loss at Syracuse Saturday. The Cards fell to 20^th in the AP Top 25 and 18^th in the USA Today Coaches poll. Oregon is number one in both polls, with Alabama falling to 4^th in the AP poll and 5^th in the USA Today poll after its first loss of the season to Texas A&M.

NFL: Chris Johnson rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown to lead the Titans to a 37-3 rout of the Dolphins in Miami.  Jake Locker returned from a shoulder injury and threw for 122 yards and two scores for Tennessee, which snapped a two-game skid to improve to 4-and-6 on the season.  Colin McCarthy had a 49-yard interception return for a touchdown in the win.  The Titans have their bye week this week.
