Award is the Only Major College Football Honor Determined
Exclusively by Fan Voting ATLANTA, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Another
exciting weekend of college football is complete, and four nominees
have been announced for the week seven Cingular All-America Player
of the Week. The winner will be determined solely by fan voting.
Oklahoma State wide receiver Adarius Bowman, Indiana quarterback
Kellen Lewis, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, and West Virginia
quarterback Pat White have been selected by a panel of ESPN college
football analysts as this week's top candidates based on their
outstanding performances this weekend. Fans can determine the
winner by text messaging "VOTE" to "87654" on their wireless phone
and casting their votes for the nominees. Bowman caught 13 passes
for 300 yards and four touchdowns in Oklahoma State's 42-32 victory
over Kansas. His 300 yards receiving set a Big 12 record and was
the 11th best single-game total in NCAA history. Lewis passed for
255 yards and three touchdowns to lead Indiana to a 31-28 upset of
No. 15 Iowa. The freshman completed 19 of 25 passes, leading the
Hoosiers back from a 21-7 deficit and helping Indiana to its
biggest win in 19 years. McCoy completed 21 of 32 passes for 275
yards and six touchdowns as Texas defeated Baylor, 63-31. McCoy's
six touchdown passes set a new school record, and he helped the
Longhorns rally from a 10-0 first quarter deficit. White accounted
for 346 yards of total offense, including 247 yards rushing, and
four touchdowns as fifth-ranked West Virginia downed Syracuse,
41-17. White, who broke his own school and Big East records for
rushing yards by a quarterback, also completed 12 of 19 passes for
99 yards. Fans have until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday to
submit their votes. The winner will be announced September 21
during ESPN's Thursday night college football game between Virginia
and North Carolina. Fans can vote as many times as they like, with
each vote counting as one entry into a sweepstakes to win a trip to
the 2007 BCS National Championship game. The Cingular All-America
Player of the Week program will continue throughout the season,
with the nominees being revealed each Sunday on the 9 a.m. ESPN
SportsCenter and on the Web at http://www.espnallamerica.com/.

Ray Rice, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, Michigan wide
receiver Mario Manningham, Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin
Johnson and Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge have won the Cingular
All-America Player of the Week during the 2006 college football
season. In December, four finalists for the Cingular All-America
Player of the Year award will be announced during a one-hour
special on ABC Sports. Fans will then get a chance to say who the
best player in the nation is by voting for the Cingular All-America
Player of the Year up until the Bowl Championship Series. The
selection process will culminate during the BCS National
Championship game on FOX when the Cingular All-America Player of
the Year will be presented. Last year, University of Texas
quarterback Vince Young was crowned as the Cingular All-America
Player of the Year, beating out USC teammates Reggie Bush and Matt
Leinart and University of Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn. He
was the second Longhorn to claim the award, after running back
Cedric Benson won the inaugural honor in 2004. ABOUT CINGULAR
