As our countdown to the first full week of college football turns to five days, we salute the five teams that have bounced back from September losses to win the national championship outright in the poll era.?One loss can be devastating for teams with national title hopes, but Ohio State and Alabama have proved that its better to lose early than to lose late in the College Football Playoff era. The 2014 Buckeyes and 2015 Crimson Tide are two of five teams to win the national championship outright after losing in September. Urban Meyers 2008 Florida Gators also accomplished the feat, as did?Miami in 1983 and Notre Dame in 1977.After the Gators 31-30 loss to Ole Miss on Sept. 27, 2008, Tim Tebow made the promise that no one in the nation would work harder than him and his teammates the rest of the year. The team responded by running the table and beating Oklahoma 24-14 to win the national title.Six years later, coach Urban Meyers Ohio State squad fell to Virginia Tech 35-21 on Sept. 6, 2014. The Buckeyes would also lose quarterbacks Braxton Miller and J.T. Barrett to injury, but that didnt stop third-stringer Cardale Jones from finishing off a championship run that included a 59-0 rout of No. 13 Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game and wins over No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Oregon in the inaugural College Football Playoff.?Last year, Alabama became the fifth team -- third since 2008 -- to lose in September and go on to win the national championship outright. The Crimson Tide fell to No. 15 Ole Miss 43-37 on Sept. 19. Many wrote off the Tide and questioned whether the Alabama dynasty was over. But Alabama would respond with a title run that included eight wins over AP Top 25 opponents, an FBS record.?The moral of the story? Dont worry if your team loses next month.In case you missed any part of our countdown:6 days: Christian McCaffreys six games with 300-plus all-purpose yards in 20157 days: UNCs Ryan Switzer has seven career punt-return touchdowns8 days: Alabamas record eight wins vs. AP Top 25 teams last season9 days: Nick Saban is 9-0 against his former assistant coaches10 days: Temples 10 sacks in win over Penn State last season11 days: Navy won a school-record 11 games last season12 days: Alabama has won 12 straight games, the longest active FBS streak.13 days: Lucky number 13 for a trio of teams last season.14 days: Boise State has played in 14 straight bowl games.15 days: Kansas has lost 15 straight games, the longest active FBS streak.16 days: Peyton Manning wore No. 16 for Tennessee.17 days: TCU QBs completed 17 of 17 passes in a game in 2012, an FBS record.18 days: Ohio State has won an FBS-best 18 consecutive road games.19 days: There are 19 head coaches at their alma mater this season.20 days: It has been 20 years since Florida won its first national championship.21 days:?Oklahoma led the nation in average scoring margin (21.5) last season.22 days: Ohio State has been in the top 10 of the AP poll for 22 straight weeks.23 days:?Virginia Tech has played in an FBS-best 23 straight bowl games.24 days:?In the first game of the historic rivalry, Navy beat Army 24-0.25 days:?Michigans Desmond Howard won the Heisman 25 years ago.26 days:?Arkansas State led the nation with 26 interceptions in 2015.27 days: Clemsons Greg Huegel led the nation with 27 field goals in 2015.28 days: Adrian Peterson wore No. 28 for Oklahoma.29 days: Alabamas Bryant-Denny Stadium opened in 1929.30 days: Miamis Vinny Testaverde won the Heisman 30 years ago.

According the Toronto Star, a knee injury will keep Sundin out of the lineup, which includes former teammates Gary Roberts, Darcy Tucker, Tie Domi and Curtis Joseph. When Mathew Leckie finally reacquainted himself with the back of the net in June, the Socceroos winger had a feeling the floodgates were about to open.His stoppage-time strike at ANZ Stadium earned Australia a 1-0 friendly win over Greece - and him his third international goal, in his 30th cap.But five months and five matches later, hes still waiting for the next.Its frustrating at times, because people want the goal-scorers and as a player you want to be scoring goals as well, Leckie said in Bangkok ahead of Tuesdays World Cup qualifier with Thailand.But in the national team youve got to think more about the team than yourself.Ive been able to keep my spot for a long time and play a lot of games. I just keep telling myself the goals will come.The last time Leckie netted for Australia before the Greece game was in last Septembers 5-0 World Cup qualifying rout of Bangladesh.Before that was in 2013 against Canada.While one goal everyy 12 games is a long time between drinks, it appears of little concern to Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou, who rates the hard-working and selfless FC Ingolstadt flyer as integral to his teams quest to qualify for Russia 2018.ddddddddddddGoals are something, but the boss really likes the hard workers who give effort for 90 minutes and have a never-give-up attitude, Leckie said.Ive had that for a long time with the national team ... Ive done that pretty well playing for the national team and I think hes seen the effort.At a club level, Leckie will return to Germany to a new coach hes never met in Bundesliga novice Maik Walpurgis.The club fired manager Markus Kauczinski last weekend due to the teams miserable opening to the season, during which theyve scored two points from 10 rounds to sit second bottom.
