My Top 25 for Sept. 4, 2006

My Top 25
1. Texas 1-0 The 2005 National Champions rolled all over North Texas.
2. Louisville 1-0 As expected the Ville beat Kentucky.
3. Iowa 1-0 Slapped around Montana.
4. Virginia Tech 1-0 Slapped around Northeastern.
5. West Virginia 1-0 Marshall gave WV a great fight but WV won out.
6. Florida 1-0 Southern Miss gave FLA a run for their money early but the Gators were able to eventually pull away.

8. Auburn 1-0 Beat Washington State 40-14.

11. Penn State 1-0 Beat Akron.
12. Georgia 1-0 Beat Western Kentucky.
13. LSU 1-0 Blew out Louisiana Lafayette.
14. South Carolina 1-0 South Carolina beat Mississippi State but there are still issues that Steve Spurrier will have to find answers to.
15. Notre Dame 1-0 Squeaked by against Georgia Tech.
The Irish dropped three games last season but ended well. They should have a better year. That is why they are higher on the food chain that Ohio State
16. UTEP 1-0 Beat San Diego State.
17. Texas Tech 1-0 Beat lowly SMU.
18. USC 1-0 USC beat Arkansas and from looking at the scoreboard it appears that Arkansas never had a chance. Not the case, two things sunk Arkansas’s ship. 1. Their legs gave out on them and there were several questionable calls. USC was still the better team.
19. TCU 1-0 TCU did not blow out Baylor like I expected them to but a win is good enough to keep them at 19.
20. Michigan 1-0 Held off Vanderbilt in a close game early.
21. Nebraska 1-0 Beat up on Louisiana Tech.
22. UTK 1-0 The Vols are back after owning Cal for most of the game.
23. Ohio State 1-0 Beat Northern Illinois
24. Oklahoma 1-0 Oklahoma almost lost to UAB. UAB looked real good that is why they were added to KOTD list. (see below)
25. Clemson 1-0 Blew out the always tough Florida Atlantic.

Six One Loss Teams to Watch
UAB 0-1 Either UAB is going to have a great season or Oklahoma stinks. UAB should have one that game. They did win my respect, which is why they are on the Knocking on the Door list.
Georgia Tech 0-1 Almost beat Notre Dame.
Southern Mississippi 0-1 The Eagles gave FLA a run but lost out at the Swamp.
Arkansas 0-1 Arkansas USC beat Arkansas and from looking at the scoreboard it appears that Arkansas never had a chance. Not the case, two things sunk Arkansas’s ship. 1. Their legs gave out on them and there were several questionable calls. USC was still the better team but Arkansas has improved from 2005 and may find the top 25 before the season is over.
Cal 0-1 Cal was owned by UTK. Final score did not reflect the game.
Miami 0-1 Lost a good opener to Florida State.
