ATLANTA, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Four nominees for the AT&T
All-America Player of the Week award have been announced after the tenth week
of college football action, and AT&T* is relying on fans to determine who
rules the gridiron.

Based on outstanding performances over the weekend, University of Cincinnati
quarterback Zach Collaros, Stanford University running back Toby Gerhart, Ohio
State University defensive end Cameron Heyward and University of Texas wide
receiver Jordan Shipley have been selected by a panel of analysts from ESPN as
this week's top candidates. Fans can text message** VOTE to 345345 on their
wireless phone to opt in for the chance to vote.

Collaros passed for 480 yards, the second-best passing performance in school
history, and scored three touchdowns in the Bearcats' victory over
Connecticut. Gerhart rushed for a school-record 223 yards and three touchdowns
in the Cardinal's upset over No. 8 Oregon. Heyward had 11 tackles, three
fumbles and two sacks in the Buckeyes' win at Penn State. Shipley had 11
receptions for a school-record 273 yards and a touchdown in the Longhorns' win
over Central Florida.

"AT&T is excited to see who the fans will choose this week as the AT&T
All-America Player of the Week," said Tim McGhee, executive director, AT&T
corporate sponsorships. "Each player had an outstanding game, but the fans
will be the ones deciding who is crowned the best."

Fans have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday to submit their votes. The winner
will be announced during Thursday's ESPN College Football Primetime Presented
by Applebee's. Standard text messaging rates apply.

There is no limit on fan voting and each vote counts as one entry into a
sweepstakes to win a trip to the 2010 Bowl Championship Series National
Championship game in Pasadena, Calif. Full sweepstakes rules can be found at

In December, four finalists for the AT&T All-America Player of the Year Award
will be announced during a one-hour special on ESPN in conjunction with the
announcement of the AT&T ESPN All-America Team as selected by the Football
Writers Association of America. Fans will then get a chance to say who the
best player in the nation is by voting for the AT&T All-America Player of the
Year through the BCS. Voting ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on Jan. 5, and the winner
will be announced during the BCS National Championship game on ABC on Jan. 7.
